India is rapidly scaling up ethanol production and blending, aiming to become a global leader like Brazil in biofuels. Learning from Brazil's policy initiatives, India seeks to optimize existing capacity, utilize surplus feedstocks, and build a sustainable policy framework. The country has already achieved E20 blending ahead of schedule, boosting farmer incomes and distillers, and now eyes exports and E27 blending. Key lessons include diversifying feedstocks, increasing flex-fuel vehicle adoption, developing robust logistics, and fostering an export-oriented strategy with international partnerships.
