OMCs drop sugarcane ethanol from FY27 tender, trim maize incentive
In short
Oil marketing companies have left sugarcane-based ethanol out of an FY27 tender and reduced the maize incentive, according to the story. The publisher summary says Bharat Petroleum invited bids for 11 billion litres to help meet a 20% petrol blending target.
This matters for ethanol suppliers and the fuel-blending plan. The reporting does not say how much demand changes for each feedstock or what the final tender terms are.
