Concerns continue about India’s chemical industry if ethanol blending raised

In India, the Petroleum Ministry’s department of chemicals has said that it wants to see ethanol for fuel capped at 5%, saying that going hire will be detrimental for the chemical industry due to scarce supplies. Oil companies and sugar mills remain at odds over how much the fuel will be supplied at, and though mills can boost their ethanol production, they haven’t yet taken up the call to do so until the prices are fixed.
