India has achieved a significant milestone by becoming the world's third-largest ethanol producer and consumer, as announced by Food Minister Pralhad Joshi at the India Sugar and Bio-Energy conference. This accomplishment is attributed to the government's policy changes and initiatives. The country has witnessed a 40% increase in sugarcane production over the past decade, contributing to this achievement. Additionally, the launch of National Green Hydrogen with an outlay of ₹19,744 crores aims to establish India as a global hub, further boosting its ethanol production and consumption capabilities.
