Ethanol demand in India is largely driven by the government’s ethanol-blending programme, the easy availability of blended petrol, and the ability of most vehicles to use this fuel. The country also has a huge vehicle population, with about 220 million two- and three-wheelers and nearly 36 million four-wheelers, supporting strong long-term ethanol consumption.
Petrol usage in India was estimated at around 698 crore litres in FY24. If the government meets its blending targets as expected, ethanol demand may rise to nearly 1,016 crore litres by the end of the ethanol supply year FY26.
