India’s ethanol programme has crossed a new supply milestone 800-crore-litre mark during ESY 2025-26, with grain-based feedstocks strengthening their share of monthly supplies in July, according to the latest data compiled by the All India Distillers’ Association (AIDA).
A total of 93 crore litres of ethanol was supplied during July, taking cumulative supplies beyond the 800-crore-litre milestone. Grain-based feedstocks accounted for 71 crore litres, or around 76% of July supplies, compared with approximately 73% in June, when grain-based ethanol contributed 75 crore litres out of 103 crore litres supplied during the month.
