# Insight: PM JI-VAN Yojana – India’s Scheme for 2G Ethanol Plants

> India’s JI-VAN scheme provides viability-gap support for second-generation ethanol plants that use crop residues and other lignocellulosic biomass rather than food crops. The article describes the original 2019 program, funding approved for projects, and a 2024 amendment that extended the scheme through 2028–29 and broadened eligible feedstocks.

## Why it matters

Support for residue-based ethanol could diversify India’s biofuel feedstocks and, if scaled, reduce competition between fuel production and grain use. The article summarizes an existing scheme and does not report a new funding decision or immediate change in grain demand.
