Therefore, this paper proposes a holistic paradigm towards mainstreaming and sustainability of biofuels analysed through the most promising methods of futures studies, PESTEL and Delphi. Futures methods and policymaking are entwined. It takes complete account of the drivers and intricate nature of biofuels. The PESTEL and Delphi expert's consultations from trans-disciplinary domain endow with plausible weaknesses and opportunities on biofuels. This paper finally draws destructive and prospective scenarios which contextualise India's distinctive policy priorities for the mainstreaming and sustainability of biofuels.
