SM Vaidya, chairman of Indian Oil, flagged off the first export consignment of aviation gasoline (AVGAS) 100 LL to Papua New Guinea from Gateway Terminals India of Jawaharlal Nehru Port Container Terminal on Saturday.

The consignment consisted of 16 KL of AVGAS stocked in 80 barrels. This is the first-ever instance of India exporting the AVGAS.

Vaidya, said, “The global aviation gasoline market is projected to grow at five per cent CAGR (compound annual growth rate). The aviation traffic in India is also likely to grow by seven per cent. Indian Oil is geared to explore the possible business avenues that has opened up with the manufacturing of this product.”

He added the indigenous production of the AVGAS 100 LL would not only help in saving foreign exchange on imports, but also make pilot training in domestic flying institutes economical.

The Tribune, now published from Chandigarh, started publication on February 2, 1881, in Lahore (now in Pakistan). It was started by Sardar Dyal Singh Majithia, a public-spirited philanthropist, and is run by a trust comprising five eminent persons as trustees.

The Tribune, the largest selling English daily in North India, publishes news and views without any bias or prejudice of any kind. Restraint and moderation, rather than agitational language and partisanship, are the hallmarks of the newspaper. It is an independent newspaper in the real sense of the term.

The Tribune has two sister publications, Punjabi Tribune (in Punjabi) and Dainik Tribune (in Hindi).
