India ka ethanol supply 2025-26 season mein **987 Crore Litres** tak pahunch gaya hai. Ab industry ka focus sugar se hatkar maize aur rice jaise grains par shift ho raha hai, jo total supply ka **70%** se zyada hai.
India ka petrol blending mission ek naye level par hai! September 2026 tak total supply 987 Crore Litres cross kar gayi hai. Yeh total allocated 1,197 Crore Litres ka 82.5% hai, jo dikhata hai ki sector kitni tezi se grow kar raha hai.
Grain-based distileries ka raaj
Ab game puri tarah grains ki taraf shift ho chuka hai. Grain-based distilleries ne 705 Crore Litres ethanol supply kiya hai, jo total ka 71% hai. Ismein Maize ne 413 Crore Litres ka yogdaan diya hai, aur FCI ke surplus rice se 222 Crore Litres mile hain. Sugar sector ne bhi apni jagah banaye rakhi hai, jinhone 282 Crore Litres supply kiya with a solid 97.6% fulfillment rate.
Sugar Mills ka naya business model
Sugar companies ab sirf sugarcane par depend nahi rehna chahti. Mausam ki maar aur government ke export bans ke chalte, companies ab multi-feedstock distilleries mein invest kar rahi hain. Balrampur Chini Mills aur Triveni Engineering jaise players ab maize aur rice ka use karke apne operations ko smooth kar rahe hain, taaki sugar harvest kam ho toh bhi revenue aata rahe.
Risk bhi hai, toh dhyan se!
Invest karte waqt ye yaad rakhna ki food security ka issue kabhi bhi bada ban sakta hai. Agar sarkar ne inflation control karne ke liye rice supply rok di, toh distilleries ka kaam thoda slow ho sakta hai. Saath hi, maize ke prices mein volatility aur government ki pricing policy par bhi nazar rakhna zaroori hai. Profit margins ka khel poori tarah raw material ke cost par depend karega.
