India Excludes Sugar-Based Ethanol from Future Petrol Blending Tenders
India has announced that starting in the 2026-27 supply year, sugar-based ethanol will be barred from tenders for petrol blending, as outlined in a recent tender from Bharat Petroleum Corporation Ltd. This move aims to secure approximately 11 billion litres of ethanol to meet a target of 20 percent ethanol in petrol, promoting sustainable energy while potentially reshaping the ethanol industry landscape.
