India's 2026-27 ethanol procurement tender, issued October 16, excludes ethanol from sugarcane juice, syrup and B-heavy molasses and keeps C-heavy molasses eligible. The maize-based ethanol procurement price was cut from ₹71.86 to ₹68.86 per litre.
Grain-based feedstocks made up 71.4% of ethanol receipts in the 2025-26 supply year, with maize contributing 413 crore litres.
