The Indian government may soon allow the sale of ethanol already produced from sugarcane juice and B-heavy molasses (BHM) before it imposed a ban in December last year with immediate effect. As the quantity of ethanol lying with mills is equivalent to 8 lakh tonnes (lt) of sugar, the total quantity of sugar diversion for the biofuel production may reach 25 lt, including 17 lt already allowed for this sugar season (October-September).
