DGCA Moves to Enhance Transparency in Aviation Emissions
The Directorate General of Civil Aviation (DGCA) is likely to introduce a mandate requiring aircraft operators to report data covering a minimum of 90 per cent of their annual carbon emissions from international flights. This initiative is part of India’s broader strategy to ensure compliance with global sustainability requirements under the Carbon Offsetting and Reduction Scheme for International Aviation (CORSIA). The country is also advancing its Sustainable Aviation Fuel (SAF) blending roadmap, targeting 1% SAF blending in the ATF for international flights by 2027, 2% by 2028, and 5% by 2030. The development was reported by an unknown source.
