India produced about 55.1 Mt of maize in 2025-26, and maize diverted to ethanol rose from 0.83 Mt in 2022-23 to 13.1 Mt in 2024-25. Ethanol now takes about a quarter of India's roughly 50 Mt grain consumption, while maize exports have roughly halved.
Rising ethanol absorption of Indian maize tightens domestic feed supply and reduces exportable surplus, a structural factor for regional maize and feed grain prices.
