Changing more rice towards ethanol is helping to reduce the reservoir of rice in the world and keep India’s ambitious Ethanol Blanding Program on the track despite falling in the supply of rice in the world and falling into the supply of traditional feedstock sugar.
In March, India almost removed the last part of two years of restriction on rice exports, which reduced the production of Rossed production .The rainfall was indicated. This year’s monsoon rains are ready to harvest abundant.
A senior government official Real told the royators, “Make sure we have enough food that we have enough food.”
“But because we have more rice than we have more than that, I have decided to use some of them for production,” official SAID said.
The State-Chaired Food Corporation of India (FCI) has allocated 5.2 million metric tonnes of rice record for ethanol, which is equivalent to about 9% of the global rice in the marketing year of 2024/25 ended in June. In the previous year, less than 3,000 tonnes of FCI rice went to Ethanol. FCI has purchased about half of India’s rice crop and is currently on June 1 with 59.5 million metric tonnes of ton of record grains. The government is more than 13.5 million tonnes of target for July 1. The availability of ethanol rice has increased the pressure on corn prices.
The grain-based distillery is used as a feedstock of corn, rice and damaged food, and switch between them.
By 2025/26, increase the mixture of ethanol in gasoline is up to 20%. Last month, it almost hit that attention and reached 19.8% of ethanol, thanks to a lot of rice.
The 5% goal was three years ago when the Ethanol Feedstock had a 5% share of 5%, it was seen to reach 5% of the goal, falling due to drought in 223.
Last year, India’s petrol included 14.6% ethanol.
A lot of problems
Another rice will be used for ethanol if the government reduces rice prices or increases the price of ethanol, said Arushi Jain, joint secretary of the Grain Ethnol Manufacturers Association.
FCI is selling Rs 5,500 per tonne of rice, while oil marketing companies are buying rice-based ethanol at Rs.558..5, which gives enough differences to move the rice-based ethanol production, Ethanol Producer Modi Natural Limited Managing Director of Natural Limited.
Since India is likely to get a bumper crop since October, FCI stocks can increase further, said Rice Exporters Association President BV Krishna Rao.
Rao said that India can only increase exports so much, as there are more than 40% of the world rice shipment.
Since the removal of export curbs, India is aggressively exporting rice, the shipments have a record of around 22.5 million tonnes in the calendar year of 225, with opponents exports, including Thailand and Vietnam.
According to the Food and Agriculture Association, India recorded 666.5 million tonnes of rice in this crop year ended in June.
Rising stockpieces will force more paddy for ethanol production in the next marketing year, said Hemanshu Agarwal, Executive Director of Rice Exporter Satyam Balaji.
“The government will take a difficult time to offload all the rice purchased by the farmers from the farmers,” Agarwal said.
