Ethanol Blended Petrol Program
Government has introduced blending of ethanol in petrol under the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Program with multiple objectives including reducing import dependence, savings in foreign exchange, providing boost to domestic agriculture sector and for associated environmental benefits. India has been promoting the use of ethanol as an alternative fuel to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and to lower greenhouse gas emissions. The Ethanol Blending Program in India aims to blend ethanol with petrol to create a more eco-friendly fuel blend.
By 2025, at 20% blending level, ethanol demand will increase to 1016 crore litres
