India's ethanol supplies cross 800-cr-litre mark during ESY 2025-26

India's cumulative ethanol supplies have crossed the 800-crore-litre mark during Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26, according to data compiled by the All India Distillers' Association (AIDA). Meanwhile, the share of grain-based ethanol rose to around 76% in July from approximately 73% in June, it added. This comes amid controversy over the central government's ethanol-blending policy for fuel.
