Govt allows sugar mills, distilleries to produce ethanol from juice/sugar syrup, BHM & CHM in ESY 2025-26 without restriction
The Indian government has allowed sugar mills and distilleries to produce ethanol from sugarcane juice, sugar syrup, B-heavy molasses, and C-heavy molasses during ESY 2025-26 without restrictions. The Department of Food and Public Distribution will review sugar diversion regularly to balance ethanol production with domestic sugar availability.
The Indian government has permitted sugar mills and distilleries to produce ethanol from sugarcane juice, sugar syrup, B-heavy molasses (BHM), and C-heavy molasses (CHM) during the Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26 without any restrictions.
This measure is part of the ongoing efforts to promote ethanol blending in fuel while ensuring sufficient sugar availability for domestic consumption.
In a circular issued by the Department of Food and Public Distribution (DFPD) to sugar mills and distilleries, it is stated that sugar mills and distilleries are allowed to produce ethanol from sugarcane juice/sugar syrup, BHM as well as CHM during ESY 2025-26 without any restriction.
DFPD, in coordination with the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG), will periodically review the diversion of sugar to ethanol production vis-a-vis production of sugar in the country so that availability of sugar for domestic consumption is ensured throughout the year.
