India has the potential to produce as much as 1,000 crore litres of ethanol from the current level of sugarcane production against the requirement of 1,200 crore litres to achieve 20 per cent ethanol blending with petrol (EBP) target by 2025-26. However, sugar mills need to ramp up their capacity from the current 700 crore litres to at least 1,100 crore litres.
