Ram Mohan Naidu clears the air on ethanol blending with ATF claim, says no such proposal exists: ‘Completely false’
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu took to X and clarified that there is no proposal to mix ethanol with Aviation Turbine Fuel, stressing that ethanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel are two distinct types of fuel.
Civil Aviation Minister Ram Mohan Naidu forcefully denied reports suggesting the government intended to blend ethanol with Aviation Turbine Fuel (ATF), dismissing the claim as "completely false and irresponsible". The misconception arose after former Delhi Chief Minister Arvind Kejriwal posted a social media article, citing a media report, and expressed worry over the safety of using "adulterated aviation fuel".
Naidu clarified on X that ethanol and Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) are two separate types of fuel, pointing out that SAF is an internationally certified aviation fuel recognized by the International Civil Aviation Organisation (ICAO) and upheld to stringent global safety standards.
