"Today, we celebrate the first anniversary of IndianOil's pioneering innovation AVGAS 100 LL - a niche aviation fuel. We developed this indigenous fuel as a statement of India's self-reliance, echoing our #NationFirst commitment. Avgas fuels the small piston engine powered aircraft used by pilot training schools and defense forces. It has been a trailblazing journey dotted with pivotal milestones.
Apart from fulfilling the entire domestic demand, we exported the first shipment of Avgas to Papua New Guinea, within a short span of 4 months. This marked India's transition from a net importer of the fuel to an exporter. Incidentally, as we celebrate this milestone, another consignment is being exported to Sri Lanka, expanding our global footprint.
The homegrown fuel is produced at our Gujarat Refinery and the pioneering production facility that was set up in a short span of time has drawn appreciation from global stakeholders. We will soon be strengthening our presence in other Asian countries, including Malaysia.
This success is a reflection of Team #IndianOil's resolve to push the boundaries of innovation, explore new energy frontiers, and unlock untapped potential. For us, truly the sky is the limit!" - S M Vaidya, Chairman, IndianOil
