Further to the above post, The Govt has very well clarified their position.
As long as mandate for ethanol blending stands good- It does not matter from where ethanol comes- whether directly comes from sugar syrup or B/ C molasses, Rice husk or maize or Agri residues.
Let us appreciate the Govt’’s pre-emptive efforts in a bid to curb price of sugar , they are transparent in informing that they themselves are not sure about sugarcane production this year and they would review situation every month and that they are committed to ethanol blending.
Not only Sugar to ethanol restriction , they have banned onion exports and restriction on wheat stocking.
in any case rise in price of poor man’s food stuff like sugar , onion , wheat should not cause embarrassment to the Govt in an election year .
