## ANSWER

MINISTER  OF STATE FOR MINISTRY  OF CONSUMER AFFAIRS, FOOD & PUBLIC DISTRIBUTION

(SHRIM ATI NIMUBEN JAYANTIBHAI  BAMBHANIYA)

- (a): Ethanol is produced by ethanol distilleries for blending in petrol under Ethanol Blended with  Petrol (EBP) Programme and other industrial uses. The requirement of ethanol for  blending purpose is  determined through demand from  Oil  Marketing Companies (OMCs).  There is no inter-state restriction for supply of ethanol to OMCs. The state-wise details of ethanol distilleries,  annual production capacity and quantity of ethanol  supplied by  distilleries to  Oil Marketing Companies  (C)MCs)  during Ethanol Supply Years (ESYs) 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and the current ESY 2024-25  are  given at  Annexure-l. Quantity of ethanol  supplied  to Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) by distilleries to the States/UTs having no ethanol plants during Ethanol Supply Years (ESYs) 2021-22, 2022-23, 2023-24 and the current ESY 2024-. 25 is at Annexure-II.
- (b): State-wise details of ethanol distilleries receiving the benefit of Ethanol Interest Subvention Scheme notified  by the Government  for enhancement and augmentation of ethanol production capacity, which  are likely  to be commissioned are at AnnexureIll. In  addition to  this,  some additional capacity is likely  to be created from under construction ethanol distilleries,  which  have not availed the benefit of  Ethanol Interest Subvention Scheme
