NEW DELHI: Ethanol-blending in petrol has risen to a record 6.2% this year, rising nearly tenfold in six years, in a sign that the policy interventions of recent years have paid off.
A combination of measures by the Modi government, that included setting higher prices for ethanol, simplifying its purchase, and encouraging oil companies to buy more ethanol, appears to have boosted the purchase of the biofuel over the years.
