Ethanol Prices

The two major sugar producing nations in the world can play an important role in ethanol trade at the global level

The government increases ethanol blending in petrol from 1.53% in 2013-14 to 10.17 per cent in 2022 and advanced its target to achieve 20 per cent ethanol blending in petrol from 2030 to 2025-26

The decision was taken by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi here
