    According to recent news from Anxunsi, India has set a goal of achieving 20% ​​ethanol blended vehicle fuel by 2025, which requires India to vigorously promote domestic ethanol production
    .


    Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi announced on June 5 the changes to the national biofuel policy timetable and released a new "India ethanol blending roadmap for 2020-2025"


    Oil sales companies such as Indian Petroleum Corporation (IOC) and Hindustan Petroleum Corporation (HPCL) are expected to provide 20% ethanol blended fuel from April 2023 and complete the transition within two years
    .


    At present, the ethanol blending rate in India's automobile fuel is 8%.


    It is reported that the current ethanol production in India is only extracted from sugarcane
    .


    In order to reach the 20% ethanol blended vehicle fuel target, India needs to increase its sugarcane ethanol production capacity by 78% to 7.


    India’s Godavari Biorefinery is increasing the capacity of its sugarcane-based ethanol plant by 50% to 600,000 liters per day
    .


    India’s largest steel manufacturer, the State-owned Iron and Steel Authority of India Limited (SAIL) plans to build India’s first synthetic gas-to-ethanol production facility


    As part of the ethanol roadmap, India is also giving priority to launching ethanol-blended fuel-compatible cars
    .


    In March of this year, the Ministry of Roads and Transport of India began to require automobile manufacturers to indicate the ethanol compatibility of new cars, and to show it through a label affixed to the car
