India's 20% Ethanol-Petrol blending target preponed to 2025

On June 5, India's prime minister Narendra Modi announced that the target of 20% ethanol blended petrol has been preponed by five years to 2025. The PM released the Report of the Expert Committee on Road Map for ethanol blending in India 2020-2025 on World Environment Day. India plans to reduce carbon emissions by 33-35% (from 2005 levels) by 2030 as a part of its commitments to the 2015 Paris agreement. In 2020 India had set a target of 10% ethanol-blending in petrol by 2022 and 10% ethanol-blending in diesel by 2030 last year. Currently, 8.5% of ethanol is blended with petrol in the country. This has led to ethanol procurement of 320 crore litres. The government has claimed Rs 21,000 crores were generated from ethanol procurement helping farmers earn an additional income. Sugarcane (87%), residues of rice and wheat are the main sources of ethanol used for blending. Ethanol blending also reduces vehicular pollution and agricultural waste pollution. It can also cut down India’s oil imports, as it is the world's third-biggest oil importer. But to produce one litre of ethanol from sugar requires about 2860 litres of water and costs Rs 62.65/litre. In March 2021, Union Minister Nitin Gadkari asked automakers to build flex-engine vehicles. These engines can run using any ratio of blended ethanol ranging from 20% to 100%.
