# Second SAF conclave in Delhi to focus on Net Zero, global capacity 2026-08-18T13:37:16+00:00 | Governance | Indian Opinion Desk Corroboration: 1 independent outlet The second Sustainable Aviation Fuel conclave will be held in New Delhi from September 28, organised by the SAF Association. The event aims to accelerate large-scale SAF capacity-building and technical programmes, supporting IATA’s target of net-zero carbon emissions by 2050. More than 1,000 delegates from over 25 countries, including Indian and international airlines, energy companies, and investors, are expected. The programme includes ministerial sessions, investor forums, and technology showcases. Rohit Kumar, Secretary General of the SAF Association, said India can become a global SAF hub but needs a coordinated ecosystem. Global studies cited by the organiser estimate India could produce 40 million tonnes of SAF annually by 2050, roughly 10 per cent of global potential. No specific government mandates or timelines have been announced alongside the event. ## Indian Opinion Analysis The single source, thehindubusinessline.com, frames the story as a purely commercial and logistical milestone, emphasising investment opportunities, capacity-building, and India’s potential to become a global SAF hub. The framing is neutral-report, with no critical scrutiny of IATA’s 2050 target, no mention of cost barriers, feedstock constraints, or policy gaps that could slow production. The careful reader should note the absence of sustainability groups or independent experts, the coverage is essentially the organiser’s press release. The key number to watch is the 40-million-tonne annual production target by 2050 and whether any hard mandate or timeline emerges from the conclave. ## Coverage Coverage: 1 source, 1 neutral - thehindubusinessline.com (neutral report) Leads with industry targets and capacity-building, no critical or opposing voices included, reads as straight event promotion This story was synthesised by AI from the source linked above.
