LSFO (Low Sulphur Fuel Oil), also called VLSFO (Very Low Sulphur Fuel Oil), is a marine bunker fuel used mainly in ships, marine engines, boilers, and industrial furnaces.
It is produced to comply with IMO 2020 environmental regulations that limit sulphur content in marine fuels to 0.50% max.
LSFO is a residual fuel oil blended with low-sulphur components to reduce harmful SOx emissions while maintaining high calorific value and combustion efficiency.
It is widely supplied in India by:
These companies manufacture LSFO/VLSFO for marine bunkering and industrial applications across Indian ports and fuel terminals.
IndianOil confirms its LSFO complies with ISO 8217:2017 marine fuel standards and IMO sulphur regulations.
