Hyderabad, India-based Gaiatech Fuels said it plans to supply 1.6 million liters (423,000 gallons) of biodiesel to Navi Mumbai’s bus system under a one-year contract.

The fuel is expected to be used in a B20 blend for the Municipal Transport system’s 261 buses, which together travel 40,400 miles a day. Gaiatech’s biodiesel comes from vegetable oils, fish oil and tallow, but the company has plans to partner with jatropha and pongamia plantations for feedstock.
