India: Biofuels Annual
Post estimates India’s ethanol production in calendar year (CY) 2025 to reach 10.5 billion liters (BL), marking a 46 percent increase over 2024 due to improved feedstock availability and favorable monsoon conditions. Ethanol consumption is projected to rise to 11.4 BL with 9.7 BL allocated to fuel ethanol. Despite the remarkable growth, Post forecasts the annual nationwide average blend rate for CY 2025 at 19.3 percent, slightly below the E20 target due to regional shortages in feedstocks and logistics constraints. Industrial ethanol imports are forecast to rise 30 percent to 1 BL in 2025, primarily from the United States, to meet demand from beverage, medicinal, and industrial sectors. India’s biodiesel production is forecast at 718 million liters in 2025, a 60 percent increase over 2024. However, the national blend rate is expected to reach 0.7 percent, far from the 5 percent target for 2030 due to feedstock constraints.

India: Sugar Semi-annual

FAS New Delhi maintains India’s centrifugal sugar production for marketing year (MY) 2025/26 at 35 million metric tons (MMT) (raw value basis), equivalent to 33 MMT of crystal sugar.
