Industry Outlook
The Indian ethanol market is rapidly expanding, driven by government initiatives promoting biofuels, energy security goals, and abundant agricultural feedstock availability. The market's size increased from ₹12.5 billion in FY2018 to ₹103.6 billion in FY2024, at a CAGR of 42%. India's ethanol production capacity grew sixfold between FY2018 and FY2024, reaching 16.5 billion litres. These advancements align with India's target of achieving 20% ethanol blending by ESY 2025-26.With a roadmap featuring an escalating Ethanol blending mandate from the current 12% (February 2024) to approx. 20% by ESY2025-26, the projected demand for Ethanol is poised for a dramatic ascent.
This translates to a near three-fold increase, catapulting from an estimated 4.5 billion litres per annum (BLPA) in FY2023 to an anticipated 13.0 BLPA by FY2029. The sheer magnitude of this growth highlights the government’s commitment to reducing dependence on imported oil and embracing cleaner energy alternatives.
Further, to boost ethanol production capacity and meet the blending targets outlined in the Ethanol Blending Programme, the Government of India has introduced several ethanol interest subvention schemes (Source: F&S Report). In a recent development, India has begun the sale of 100% ethanol-based automotive fuel (“E100”) at 183 Indian Oil Corporation Limited outlets across Maharashtra, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, New Delhi, and Tamil Nadu (Source: F&S Report).
