Encouraged by the past 7 years performance under the ethanol blending programme, Government decided to advance the targets of 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol from 2030 to Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26. The roadmap for ethanol blending in India 2020-25, prepared by an inter-ministerial committee, estimated ethanol requirement of 1016 crore litres to achieve 20 per cent blending targets in ESY 2025-26, Minister of State Petroleum and Natural Gas Rameswar Teli informed Rajya Sabha on Monday.
The current ethanol production capacity of 1364 crore litre is spread across most of the states of the country including in the ethanol surplus states of Uttar Pradesh, Maharashtra and Karnataka. This capacity is sufficient to produce the ethanol required to meet the blending targets. In line with the roadmap, oil marketing companies have achieved 10 per cent ethanol blending during ESY 2021-22 and 12 per cent during ESY 2022-23.
