The Indian government has no plans to resume the sale of subsidised rice for the production of ethanol in the near future, according to Food Secretary Sanjeev Chopra. The sale has been discontinued due to concerns about domestic output, high retail prices, and economic unviability. However, Chopra states that this policy may be renewed in the future and that the government is encouraging the use of maize for ethanol production. Additionally, there are concerns about a potential fall in sugar production next season, but the government is taking measures to ensure a higher stock of sugar for both domestic consumption and diversion for ethanol production. The recent increase in the fair and remunerative price of sugarcane is also seen as a positive signal for farmers to increase their sowing, according to Chopra.
