The demand for ethanol as a fuel in India is mainly supported by the government’s ethanol-blending policy, easy availability of ethanol-blended petrol, and the fact that most vehicles can run on such fuel. India has a very large vehicle base, with around 220 million two- and three-wheelers and nearly 36 million four-wheelers, which creates strong long-term demand for ethanol.
India’s petrol consumption is estimated at about 698 crore litres in FY24. If the government’s blending targets are achieved as planned, ethanol demand could increase to nearly 1,016 crore litres by the end of the ethanol supply year FY26.
