India Biodiesel Market

Market Overview 2025-2033:

The India biodiesel market size reached USD 461.6 Million in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 936.1 Million by 2033, exhibiting a growth rate (CAGR) of 7.76% during 2025-2033. The rising demand for sustainable and cleaner fuel, increasing adoption of biodiesel in transportation sector, and government initiatives to lower emissions represent some of the key factors driving the market in India.

Biodiesel refers to a renewable and biodegradable liquid fuel that is manufactured from vegetable oils, animal fats, and recycled restaurant grease and relies on a transesterification process. It is cost-effective, safer to use, non-toxic, and has a lower exhaust emission rate as compared to traditional sources of fuel. It is a suitable alternative to diesel fuel, can be easily mixed with petroleum diesel in any ratio, and does not produce acid rain. It assists in improving the lubrication of an engine and enhances its life. Besides this, it provides more energy as the feedstock crop collects solar energy and transforms it into biodiesel feedstock oil. It can be utilized in all compression-ignition (CI) engines that are designed to be operated on diesel fuel. At present, it is widely employed in power generation and transportation purposes across India.

India Biodiesel Market Trends:

At present, the rising demand for biodiesel in the transportation industry as a fuel that provides better efficiency as compared to gasoline and is environment-friendly represents one of the primary factors supporting the growth of the market in India. Besides this, the growing adoption of high-quality biodiesel in construction and mining equipment is offering a positive market outlook in the country. Additionally, the Government of India is encouraging the adoption of cleaner fuels to reduce the harmful greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions in the environment. This, coupled with the rising demand for domestic fuel alternatives, such as biodiesel, due to the inflating crude oil prices, is propelling the growth of the market. Apart from this, various benefits offered by biodiesel, such as enhanced air quality and improved energy security, are offering lucrative growth opportunities to industry investors. Moreover, the increasing energy demand, along with the rising utilization of biodiesel as heating oil in domestic and commercial boilers, is bolstering the growth of the market in India. In addition, the growing demand for biodiesel to replace conventional fossil fuels in power generation is positively influencing the market. Furthermore, the rising awareness among the masses about the harmful impact of greenhouse gas emissions is strengthening the growth of the market in the country.
