Indian Oil Corporation has kicked-off the supply of diesel that is blended with biodiesel made from used cooking oil, the firm said in a statement on Tuesday.
“This initiative will garner substantial economic benefits for the nation by shoring up indigenous Biodiesel supply, reducing import dependence, and generating rural employment,” Minister of Petroleum & Natural Gas Dharmendra Pradhan said while flagging-off the first supply from Indian Oil’s Tikrikalan Terminal.
Oil marketing companies have already issued 30 letters of intent to biodiesel suppliers so far. Under the initiative, OMCs offer periodically incremental price guarantees for five years and extend off-take guarantees for ten years to prospective bidders.
