Rapid increment in the energy sector is forcing all countries to look forward to find an alternate solution for their improvements. Biofuel is best alternative which can be easily used in the CI engines. This paper deals with emissions and performance characteristics of CI engine fuelled with Mahua oil blended Camphor Biofuel blend (M70C30, M50C50 and M30C70). Blending the Camphor oil with mahua oil will increase the Brake thermal efficiency. BSFC for M70C30 was found higher than other blended Fuel. Increasing the percentage of camphor in blended fuel will escalate the NOx emissions and will lower the CO, HC and Smoke emissions. M30C70 has higher Thermal efficiency and lower BSFC and which also supports for lowering the HC, CO, Smoke Emissions and high NOx emissions
