India Bio-Hydrogenated Diesel (BHD) Market Research Report 2024(Status and Outlook)

In Business Insights
June 17, 2025

India’s Bio-Hydrogenated Diesel (BHD) market is poised for strong expansion, currently valued at US$ 78 million in 2024 with projections indicating it will double to US$ 156 million by 2030, registering a robust CAGR of 12.3% during the forecast period. BHD represents one of India’s most promising renewable fuel solutions, emerging as a key component in the nation’s strategic shift toward sustainable energy alternatives.

Bio-Hydrogenated Diesel is revolutionizing India’s fuel landscape by offering superior emissions performance while maintaining full compatibility with existing diesel infrastructure. This innovative fuel is gaining traction across transportation and industrial sectors where emission reduction targets are becoming increasingly stringent. The market’s growth trajectory aligns perfectly with India’s ambitious biofuels mandate targeting 20% blending by 2025.

Market Overview & Regional Dynamics

Tier-I cities including Delhi, Mumbai, and Bengaluru currently drive over 60% of national BHD demand, primarily due to strict urban emission norms and advanced fuel distribution networks. However, rapid infrastructure development initiatives are enabling market penetration into Tier-II and Tier-III cities, where industrial diesel reliance remains high.

The Southern and Western regions collectively account for 68% of production capacity, benefiting from proximity to major port facilities and established petroleum refining clusters. Eastern states are emerging as new growth frontiers, spurred by government incentives for biorefinery projects in oilseed-rich agricultural zones.

Growth Drivers and Emerging Opportunities

Several powerful forces are propelling the BHD market forward. The transportation sector maintains its position as the dominant consumer (58% market share), particularly in commercial fleets transitioning to cleaner fuels. Meanwhile, the government’s Production Linked Incentive (PLI) scheme is accelerating investments in advanced biofuels manufacturing capacity.

Notable opportunities are emerging in industrial applications, where BHD’s high cetane number and superior cold flow properties make it ideal for heavy machinery. The power generation sector presents significant upside potential as remote telecom towers and mining operations adopt BHD to reduce carbon footprints while maintaining equipment reliability.

Industry Challenges and Constraints

While the outlook appears positive, the market faces several headwinds. Feedstock availability remains constrained, with current domestic production unable to meet the growing demand from biodiesel and BHD producers simultaneously. Price competitiveness against conventional diesel continues to challenge widespread adoption during periods of crude oil price volatility.

Additionally, inconsistent state-level biofuel policies create market fragmentation, while logistics bottlenecks hinder efficient distribution to inland consumption centers. Recent policy changes addressing these issues offer cautious optimism for improved market conditions moving forward.
