Maize-Based Ethanol Production: India's Fuel Policy Reshaping Grain Markets

Ethanol Blending Program Drives Demand

India's ambitious Ethanol Blending Program (EBP) is reshaping domestic grain markets. To reduce reliance on sugarcane-based molasses, the government is encouraging the use of damaged food grains and maize for ethanol production.
