What is High Speed Diesel (HSD)?

HSD, commonly referred to as diesel or gasoil, is a straight run product with selected cracked distillates. It is produced from the fractional distillation of crude oil resulting in a mixture of carbon chains composed of saturated hydrocarbons and aromatic hydrocarbons. The sulphur level and emission standard is in line with BSVI / EURO VI grade in view of auto fuel policy by Government of India. HSD is a class B product as per PESO guidelines. It is widely used in the transportation sector. Diesel is used in diesel engines i.e. a typical internal combustion engine. HSD is used in cars, motor cycles, boats, locomotives, trains, buses and trucks. Diesel is blended with Bio Diesel as per Government directives to reduce carbon mobility as per Bio Fuel policy and marketed in India under BS VI.

Benefits of High Speed Diesel (HSD)

OPERATION

Cleaner & better fuel, better
combustability
with practically no ash and
heavy metals

CALORIFIC VALUE

High calorific value
with respect to other fuels

HANDLING

Cleaner & better to handle and
store as it has better flow
characteristics

AVAILABILITY

Widely available across the
length and breadth of globe

ENVIRONMENT

Lower emission, relatively
cleaner fuel

Industrial Uses of High Speed Diesel

Construction

Defence

Farming equipment and tractors

Heavy commercial vehicles

Mining

Power generation

Railways

Transportation fuel
