India's Ethanol Project Activity Remains Strong

---

Researched by Industrial Info Resources (Sugar Land, Texas)--Ethanol, a renewable fuel made from various plant materials such as sugarcane, broken rice, maize, etc., has attracted multiple capital investments in India after the government introduced the blending of ethanol in petrol. Currently, 11.6% ethanol is being blended with petrol with the target of 20% ethanol blending by 2025. Ethanol-blended petrol can save huge quantities of carbon-dioxide emissions.

Industrial Info is tracking 22 ethanol projects in India with a total investment of US$1.73 billion. Gujarat Alkalies & Chemicals Limited (Vadodara, India)) is the highest investor, with an upcoming 36.2 million gallons per year.

One of the country's largest ethanol projects presently underway comes from Krishak Bharati Cooperative Limited for a grassroot plant that will produce about 21.8 gallons per year when completed in 2025.
