Praj Industries has signed a Development & Commercialization Agreement with Gevo Inc. to develop and commercialize Bio-Isobutanol (Bio-IBA) technology in India. The agreement, dated September 16, 2026, grants Praj exclusive rights to deploy the technology in the country.
The collaboration builds on more than a decade of association between the two companies. Praj will lead commercialization efforts, focusing primarily on diesel blending applications to reduce carbon intensity. This aligns with India's consumption of approximately 94.7 million tonnes of high-speed diesel in FY25-26.
Strategic Focus
The partnership targets sustainable aviation fuel (SAF) and renewable chemicals. Bio-IBA serves as a platform molecule for these products, offering versatility in the bioeconomy. Praj will leverage its expertise in sugar- and starch-based feedstocks, while Gevo provides the proven renewable isobutanol technology.
Demonstration Plant
Praj is establishing India's first commercial Bio-IBA demonstration plant for a leading Oil Marketing Company (OMC). Designed and engineered by Praj using Gevo's licensed technology, the plant aims to validate production and supply-chain pathways for future commercialization.
Market Context
Stakeholders across the value chain are working towards enabling Bio-IBA-based diesel blending in India. Initiatives in technology validation, regulatory assessment, and supply-chain preparedness are progressing in parallel.
