Public secto fuel sellers have actually raised procurement costs for ethanol made from C-heavy molasses by 6.87 per litre to 56.28 per litre, according to market sources and a file examined by Reuters on Friday.
The relocation is targeted at improving production of ethanol, which is utilized for mixing with gas. More than 10% of a litre of gas offered in India is ethanol and the country has actually set a target to raise mixing to 20% by 2025.
Previously this year, the federal government directed sugar mills not to utilize walking stick juice or syrup to produce ethanol, as New Delhi attempted to increase sugar materials by cutting ethanol output.
The federal government enabled mills to produce ethanol just from C-heavy molasses, a walking stick spin-off that has barely any sugar material left in it.
