As per the statement of one of my friend, he can drop kerosene to diesel and treat the entire quantity in a big HDS (diesel hydro-treater) and make Euro IV / V Diesel.
Is it possible? What about the quality of Diesel in this case? Will HDS make things alright ?
Here the Kerosene availability is so high and they make Jet A1 and if the demand for it is not there, they want to make Diesel out of it?
Can anyone help teach me this aspect

As per my knowledge goes, diesel and kerocene are both the products which come out of raw petroleum, when distilled, at different temperatures, so I think diesel will come next,before that kerocene comes, naturally kerocene will be more pure a hydro-carbon, than diesel.
But you are talking about going back from kerocene to dielsel sounds like you are making some mistake,for that we have to add back the impuirities. why any body will do that ? Or I am wrong ? I dont know.

You cannot convert Kerosene to Diesel. It is other way around. The refined Petroleum is Kerosene. Diesel is the crudest form and Kerosene is the most refined form. Kerosene of course is far better fuel than Diesel. The Aviation fuel is closest to Kerosene.
In India, the Kerosene, has been heavily subsidised, by Government to help the poor. Kerosene is supposed to be distributed to poor only through ration card. But, some people like your friend are stealing & mixing in bunks to profiteer.

it is so impossible the conversion of kerosene to diesel. Because, once if you got the kerosene then after the diesel, you cant go reversibly. Then, it is because the extraction of petroleum is completely spontaneous process, i.e., irreversible process. You cant reverse. So, you cant do like that
