No takers for FCI stocks among grain-based distilleries
SANDIP DAS

Given the high rice stocks, the government is discussing a reduction in the reserve sale prices of broken rice offered to grain-based distilleries for ethanol manufacturing from the central pool held by the Food Corporation of India (FCI).

Sources told FE that discussions are underway to assess the availability of feedstock—maize and rice—for biofuel production.

Officials acknowledged that the lack of takers for broken rice allocated to ethanol manufacturers stems from the high prices set by the government.

"We are discussing the issue with all stakeholders," said a source, adding that a price reduction is under consideration.

In August, the government lifted a 13-month ban on rice sales to ethanol distilleries, approving the purchase of 2.3 million tonne (MT) from central pool stocks for distilleries at ₹28/kg, excluding transportation costs.
