Indian fuel distributors say they can procure enough ethanol to support an E10 mandate

Fuel distributors disputed government officials’ assertions that the country cannot produce enough ethanol to support an E10 mandate. They stated that they have procured 120 million gallons of ethanol, almost half the 295 million gallon  ethanol requirement to support E10 if it is imposed in the country. Previously, Biofuels Digest reported on a Times of India article quoting Indian officials who say the country would acquire 60 million gallons of ethanol by year end.
