Rapid Increase in Ethanol Production Capacity Twitter Handle: @shuchi_nahar Two Different types of processes  to produce Ethanol To produce 684 crore liters of ethanol by the sugar industry by 2025-26, sugarcane equivalent to 60 LMT of surplus sugar would be diverted to ethanol. In the current sugar season, 2020-21 more than 20 LMT of sugar is estimated to be diverted. To produce 666 crore liters of ethanol/ alcohol from food grains by 2025-26, about 165 LMT of food grains would be utilized. At present damaged food grain availability is around 40 lakh tons in the country. In 2020-21 approximately 20 lakh ton maize is surplus FCI Rice is also sufficient in stock (266 LMT) and it will continue to remain robust as procurement of paddy/rice at MSP continues at expected levels. The country is producing sufficient food grains and sugar to meet the requirement for ethanol. Molasses-based distilleries have also been offered interest subvention to convert them to dual feed, to convert both
