Sustainable energy is crucial for sustainable development. India, being a responsible welfare nation, is trying to provide energy security by sustainable energy. Energy transition from conventional to renewables is on pace. Structured Policies, Programmes, R&D, coordinated efforts of stakeholders and strong government support has made an ecosystem for rapid growth in the biofuel sector and now India has become one of the leading markets in renewable energy. Biofuels have potential to meet the future energy demands as well as contributing to a reduction in greenhouse gas emission. The aim of this paper is to present an overview of biofuels in India including history, national policy, biofuel chemistry along with green chemistry, feedstock used, different generations and technologies, current status and future prospects. In Spite of the availability of ample feedstock, various challenges faced by the biofuel sector are also analysed and recommended different measures to overcome the obstacles so that the biofuel sector in India must be augmented in every possible way.
