The fuel attributes of Animal Fat biodiesel are thoroughly investigated in this work through the application of the Interpretive Structural Modelling (ISM) technique. The study precisely focuses on the Indian biodiesel manufacturing industry. Eight essential biodiesel properties like water content, viscosity, lubricity, iodine number, flash point, calcific value, and cetane number were considered for the analysis. The ISM technique was used for the result. It was found that the ''Lubricity'' and ''Iodine content'' were important factors which plays a good role on affecting the animal fat biodiesel. Also, the study showed that animal fats biodiesel has a good fuel characteristic. These results are much beneficial for researchers and managers who are involved in the biodiesel manufacturing industry. Comprehending the impact of ''Lubricity'' and ''Iodine content'' on fuel characteristics enables researchers to focus their endeavors on augmenting these traits. By giving lubricity and iodine concentration top priority, managers can effectively deploy resources and design production processes that maximize the necessary fuel qualities of Animal Fat biodiesel.
