Tamil Nadu mills seek to eliminate ethanol production limits

In India, the South Indian Sugar Mills Association has presented in court arguments why the 50 million liter limit on ethanol production for Tamil Nadu should be limited, arguing that the state’s production quota is more than 200 million liters. Existing distilleries have production capacity of 270 million liters and could easily supply the quota if allowed. What’s more, the association argues that by not being allowed to produce ethanol, sugarcane farmers are being negatively impacted.
