The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has updated aviation fuel regulations in India. The changes come as part of the Aviation Turbine Fuel (Regulation of Marketing) Amendment Order, 2026.
The updated order refines the definition of aviation turbine fuel to include synthetic hydrocarbon blends. Additionally, it removes outdated references to specific companies.
A key aspect of the amendment involves aligning search and seizure powers with the Bharatiya Nagarik Suraksha Sanhita, 2023. This adjustment is intended to enhance enforcement capabilities related to aviation fuel regulations across the country.
