The Andhra Pradesh government has allotted 45 acres of land in Kakinada to SAF One India SPKompact for a sustainable aviation fuel production facility. The total investment stands at ₹1,835 crore. The land, owned by the Andhra Pradesh Maritime Board, will be leased for 30 years under an as-is-where-is arrangement. The company must obtain all regulatory clearances before starting construction. The state's Investment Promotion Board backed the proposal earlier.
SAF One is a subsidiary of SAF One Energy Management Limited, based in Dubai. The facility is expected to generate 2,500 direct and indirect jobs.
The project adds to a growing pipeline of SAF plants in India. The country has set blending mandates for international flights, aiming to cut aviation emissions. Most global SAF output is in Europe and North America. India's feedstock advantage – cheap used cooking oil and agricultural residues – could help local producers compete on cost. The plant's specific feedstock choice is not yet public.
