With the world&#8217;s changing focus on clean energy and the government&#8217;s ethanol blending with petrol regulations create significant ventures in this sector.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">India&#8217;s National Biofuel Policy aims at 20% ethanol blending by 2025 which increases the demand for ethanol produced from paddy, corn, wheat, maize and even some waste products.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Consequently, ethanol projects are economically profitable and have great future expansion potential which is benefitting many investors and
