India's government is considering diverting surplus rice from its central pool to ethanol production to ease stockpiles. Distillers may resist because auction prices above 1,900 rupees per 100 kg are not remunerative against sugarcane-based ethanol.
Diverting rice into ethanol could add a new outlet for surplus Indian rice, but high auction prices may limit uptake and keep rice prices supported domestically.
