Indian government again boosts ethanol price to enourage more production

September 3, 2019 |

In India, the director general of the Indian Sugar Mills Association said the government’s decision to increase ethanol price once again, with special emphasis and a higher increase for ethanol made from B-heavy molasses, confirms the Government’s commitment towards encouraging more diversion of the surplus sugarcane/sugar into ethanol.  He also said the second very important decision of allowing a single premium price for the ethanol made from partial or 100% sugarcane juice is another big and positive step in this direction and that these decisions will help in further increasing the ethanol blend levels from the current 6% average levels across the country.
