India’s ethanol production landscape is undergoing a quiet transformation. What used to be dominated by sugarcane and its by‑products is now seeing grains like maize, broken or damaged rice, and surplus foodgrains emerge as the chief raw materials.

Officials suggest that this decision is part of New Delhi’s broader strategy to diversify import sources and enhance energy and food security.
