India’s OMCs received 93.5 crore litres of ethanol in July 2026 and blended 100.4 crore litres, maintaining the 20% ethanol blending target. Cumulative blending in ESY 2025-26 reached 843.4 crore litres, with ethanol stocks at 84.6 crore litres, strengthening India’s energy security and reducing crude oil dependence.
India’s ethanol blending programme is gaining momentum with the OMCs receiving ethanol as per requirement and achieving the blending targets set by the government.
The Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have received 93.5 crore litres of ethanol in July 2026 under the Ethanol Blending Petrol (EBP) programme. According to the official data, total 100.4 crore litres of ethanol was blended into petrol in July 2026. According to the data, the ethanol blending in petrol has remained at 20 per cent for July 2026. Apart from this, the OMCs have storage of 84.6 crore litres of ethanol as of July 2026.
The EBP programme is reshaping the nation’s energy landscape while boosting economic development and promoting sustainable growth in rural areas.
In the previous ESY 2024–25, OMCs blended 1,022.4 crore litres of ethanol, achieving an average blending level of 19.2 per cent. In ESY 2023-24, OMCs blended 707.4 crore litres of ethanol, achieving an average blending level of 14.6 per cent.
This accelerated progress has helped reduce dependence on imported crude oil, resulting in significant foreign exchange savings and strengthening India’s transition towards a cleaner and more self-reliant energy future.
