Currently, 22 ethanol distilleries – 8 molasses-based
and 14 grain-based – are operational in Bihar, Minister of State for Food
Nimuben Jayatibhai Bambhaniya said in a written reply to the Lok Sabha.
The government is
implementing the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme nationwide, with Oil Marketing
Companies (OMCs) selling petrol blended with ethanol. Under the programme, the
government has set a target of 20 per cent ethanol blending with petrol by
2025-26.
To boost ethanol production capacity and meet blending
targets, the Centre has introduced various Ethanol Interest Subvention Schemes
from 2018 to 2022. Under these
schemes, 47 projects from Bihar have received in-principle approvals, she said.
For each Ethanol Supply Year (ESY), OMCs invite bids from distilleries for
ethanol purchase based on feedstock availability.
After receiving
bids, OMCs allocate ethanol quantities from different feedstocks to be supplied
by distilleries during a specific ESY. In cases of feedstock shortages, OMCs
have shown flexibility in accepting feedstock change requests and issuing
revised allocations.
