Indian bioethanol producers asked the government to raise the corn-based ethanol procurement price by about 9% to 75 rupees per liter. A new tender sets the effective price at 68.86 rupees per liter, and India banned sugarcane juice and B-heavy molasses for ethanol in the new season.
India's shift toward grain-based ethanol, rising to about 90% of supply, increases corn and rice demand and supports domestic feedstock prices.
After 318 past bullish policy events, Corn moved a median -0.1% over 5 sessions (48% higher; middle half -1.4% to +1.5%), and -0.2% over 20.
