India ethanol push needs uniform policies and consumer trust: AIDA
India's Ethanol Blending Programme requires standardised state-level taxes and consumer education to succeed, according to the All India Distillers’ Association. With installed capacity of 2,000 crore litres and demand at 1,434 crore litres, the industry holds a surplus of 566 crore litres. Excise duty exemptions on higher blends (E22 to E30) aim to curb crude oil imports, but consumer concerns over mileage persist.
