Furthermore, recently declared by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited to invest to increase the ethanol production capacity to serve and meet the demand of both domestic and international markets is estimated to be another significant project that will surge the growth of the India Ethanol industry in the coming years. 

India Ethanol Market Synopsis

India Ethanol Market is expected to register growth during the forecast period on account of the increasing consumption and production of alcoholic beverages along with the growing usage of ethanol as fuel in automotive. The growing environmental concerns and rising adoption of ethanol at gasoline stations coupled with the increasing number of gasoline stations are some of the major factors driving the demand for the ethanol market in India. Moreover, the changing taste and preferences of people, changing life, and the rising automobile industry would propel the growth of the ethanol market in India. Aiming to develop a wide ethanol industry in the country to cater to domestic needs and contribute to economic growth is one of the major drivers that will ensure massive growth of the market in the coming years.

According to 6Wresearch, the India Ethanol Market size is expected to grow at a massive rate during the forecast period 2020-2026. The market is growing considerably due to the rise in the potential growth of the chemical and food & beverage industry. With the rising financial incentives, farmers have increased ethanol production to improve their livelihoods, this factor is creating a positive impact on the India Ethanol industry. Additionally, Ethanol blended fuel use has been increasing rapidly to improve air quality by decreasing the pollutants like matter and nitrogen oxides. This is one of the leading factors increasing the use of ethanol and leaving a favorable impact on the market growth. The rising investment in ethanol production technologies, which include effective & efficient processing methods leads to cost-effective and eco-friendly production. The technology can help produce large quantity ethanol to cater the industrial needs and is estimated to leave a favorable impact on market growth. 

Drivers of the India Ethanol Market

• Agricultural Surplus: India has abundant sugarcane, which helps produce volume ethanol, as a result, it will help manage demand & supply imbalance in the country and contribute to a massive growth of the ethanol market in the country over the coming years.
• Job Creation: the growing ethanol production demand in the country, leads to creating job opportunities for the rural area. As farmers contain the agriculture surplus required to produce ethanol.

Challenges of the India Ethanol Market

The availability of required feedstocks that are sugarcane and grains is limited which limits ethanol production and is unable to cater the domestic needs. Also, the high competition in using these feedstocks for food and fuel production can cause inflation. Additionally, the limited infrastructure to store, produce, and distribute is another challenge that can hinder ethanol production, in turn, this can affect the market growth. 

Government Policies & Schemes Introduced in the India Ethanol Market

India Ethanol Market is estimated to surge in the foreseeable future underpinned by the rising government efforts in increasing ethanol-based fuel to reduce GHG levels in the country.  The Indian government has introduced certain policies such as providing financial incentives and creating a favorable regulatory environment by encouraging the use of renewably sourced fuels (ethanol) in various sectors like agriculture and automotive. This factor is estimated to bolster the ethanol demand, as a result, the market will augment significantly during the forecast period. Also, the Indian government encourages increasing the ethanol production capacity in the country to reduce the dependency on imported crude oil and to decrease the carbon footprint by using ethanol-based fuels. 

COVID-19 Impact on the India Ethanol Market

The pandemic had a profound impact on the India Ethanol Market which is a part of the Asia Pacific ethanol market. COVID-19 caused a major lockdown in the country which led to a shutdown of industrial operations, including construction coupled with the low consumption rate of gasoline due to the travel restrictions. This decreased the ethanol demand and further hindered the market growth by declining the market shares and revenues.

Key Players in the India Ethanol Market

Some are the major players functioning efficiently and effectively to shape the market growth including:

• Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited has been strongly serving the end sectors in the country by producing and distributing standard-quality ethanol.
• Indian Oil Corporation Limited has a prominent presence in the country, which produces a quality range of ethanol.
• Reliance Industries Ltd. is another one of the leading companies in the country that offers fuel-grade and food-grade ethanol to their customers.
  

Market Analysis by Purity

Based on the purity, denatured ethanol is likely to dominate the India Ethanol Market share, driven by the government's strict policies, which have mandated to blend of ethanol with gasoline and reducing the dependency on fossil fuels to attain a sustainable environment.

Market Analysis by Application

According to Ravi Bhandari, Research Head, 6Wresearch, all applications are driving the demand for ethanol in the country, however, recently, fuel and fuel additives experiencing quite high growth and boosting the India ethanol market share influenced by various factors, like, rising government initiatives to reduce carbon emission, reduce dependency on fossil fuels, and increasing use of renewable sourced fuels and energy generation component.

Market Analysis by Sources

Based on sources, while sugar and molasses-based ethanol have traditionally been used as the major source of ethanol production, nevertheless, the rising demand for other sources as well including, Grained Based and Second Generation increases sustainability and decrease food crop competition.
