Explanation
India advanced its E10 target and achieved 10 per cent ethanol blending ahead of schedule. Most fuel ethanol in India is produced from sugarcane molasses and juice, creating a large additional demand stream for the sugar industry. Cassava, maize and wine industries are not the primary beneficiaries. Hence the sugar industry greatly benefits.
