n a recent policy change, the Food Ministry has lifted the ban on using sugarcane juice for ethanol production during the 2023-24 season. This revised order allows distilleries to utilize both sugarcane juice and B-heavy molasses as feedstock for this green fuel.
This decision comes just days after the government prohibited the use of sugarcane juice and sugar syrup for ethanol production to ensure sufficient sugar supply in the domestic market and control prices.
