The Government has issued a fresh order reversing ban on the use of sugarcane juice for making ethanol and allowed utilisation of the juice as well as B-heavy molasses to produce green fuel in the 2023-24 supply year.
Food Ministry in a directive issued to all sugar mills and distilleries, said the oil marketing companies (OMCs) will issue a revised allocation of sugarcane juice and B-heavy molasses-based ethanol for the 2023-24 supply year to each distillery.
OMCs have been asked to inform the food ministry after placement of revised contracts. After receiving the revised allocation, sugar mills and distilleries have been asked to supply ethanol strictly as per the revised quantity of cane juice and B-heavy molasses.
