MEERUT (UP): Prime Minister Narendra Modi on Sunday said that his government is making efforts
to make the sugarcane belts across the country into “energy belts,” a reference to the use of ethanol
as fuel.
Addressing a poll rally here in the sugarcane belt of Uttar Pradesh, Modi said, “Friends, we don’t
want to limit the sugarcane crop to sugar and jaggery. We want to make every sugarcane belt of
the country into an energy belt.”
The PM said that the amount of ethanol produced from sugarcane has gone up in the last 10 years.
