Is India on target for its ethanol blending desired levels?

For the latest sugar year, India has already achieved 9% ethanol blending in petrol and looks to be firmly on target for 20% by 2025. Currently, 10% ethanol extracted from sugarcane or surplus foodgrain must be mandatorily blended in petrol. Government had brought forward its target of 20% blending of ethanol from 2030 to 2025. The Sugar industry will divert 6 million tonnes of surplus sugar to make 7 billion tonnes of ethanol in the current year.
