The India Bio-Hydrogenated Diesel (BHD) Market is experiencing significant growth, with its valuation reaching USD 78 million in 2024. According to industry analysts, the market is projected to expand at a robust CAGR of 12.3%, reaching approximately USD 156 million by 2030. This growth trajectory is primarily fueled by increasing government support for sustainable energy solutions and the rising demand for low-emission biofuels across transportation and industrial sectors.
Bio-Hydrogenated Diesel represents a breakthrough in renewable fuel technology, produced through advanced hydrogenation of bio-based feedstocks. Its superior combustion properties and compatibility with existing diesel infrastructure make it a strategic solution for India’s dual objectives of energy security and emissions reduction. The market’s momentum is further amplified by substantial investments in bio-refinery projects and ongoing research into alternative feedstock sources like agricultural waste and non-edible oils.

Market Overview & Regional Analysis
India’s BHD market demonstrates concentrated growth in industrialized states including Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, where refining infrastructure and policy support converge. The western region currently commands 42% of production capacity, benefiting from established petroleum corridors and port connectivity for feedstock imports. However, northern states are emerging as growth hotspots, driven by agricultural residue availability and new government mandates for cleaner fuels in public transportation.
While India’s domestic production is expanding, the market remains influenced by global renewable diesel trends. Southeast Asian palm oil-based BHD imports currently supplement domestic supply, though tariffs and quality standards are reshaping trade flows. The government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme for advanced biofuels is expected to dramatically improve regional production capabilities by 2026.
Key Market Drivers and Opportunities
Three fundamental drivers are propelling the BHD market: stricter emission norms under BS-VI standards, blending mandates that now include non-edible oil based biofuels, and corporate sustainability commitments from fleet operators. The transportation sector accounts for 68% of current demand, with notable adoption by long-haul trucking and municipal transport systems. Industrial applications, particularly in backup power generation and mining equipment, present significant growth potential as companies seek to reduce their carbon footprint.
Emerging opportunities lie in the development of second-generation BHD from lignocellulosic biomass and the integration of carbon capture technologies in production facilities. The government’s Green Hydrogen Mission and the proposed National Biofuel Policy 2025 are expected to create favorable conditions for technological innovation and capacity expansion. Railway freight and marine applications represent untapped segments where BHD could gain traction in the coming years.
Challenges & Restraints
The market faces substantial challenges including feedstock price volatility, limited collection infrastructure for agricultural residues, and capital intensity of hydrogenation units. Technology constraints around yield optimization and catalyst efficiency continue to impact production economics. While government subsidies exist, the sector competes for funding with other renewable alternatives like compressed biogas and electric mobility solutions.
Global dynamics also influence market conditions – fluctuations in crude oil prices affect BHD competitiveness, and evolving sustainability certification requirements create compliance complexities. The industry must navigate these challenges while scaling up to meet the 5% biodiesel blending target set for 2030, which would require quadrupling current production capacities.
