<h1>Government Increases Ethanol Prices for 2019-20 to Support Farmers and Boost Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme.</h1> The Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs approved a revision in ethanol pricing for supply to Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies for the 2019-20 sugar season. Ethanol prices derived from C heavy molasses, B heavy molasses, and sugarcane juice/sugar/sugar syrup routes were increased. The initiative aims to boost ethanol availability for the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme, benefiting sugarcane farmers by reducing arrears and supporting the agricultural sector. The program promotes environmentally friendly fuel and reduces import dependency. The government has been adjusting ethanol prices since 2014 to improve supply and address issues in the sugar industry, including farmer dues and inventory challenges.
