India’s ethanol supplies reach 987 crore litres by September
In short
India’s ethanol receipts reached 987 crore litres by the end of September in the current supply year. Grain-based feedstocks made up more than 71% of the total, with maize at 413 crore litres and surplus rice at 222 crore litres.
This shows grain is leading ethanol supply, which matters for fuel blending and farm-linked demand. The reporting does not say what this means for prices or policy next.
