For the duration of the upcoming yr 2021-22, since the concentrate on of 10 per cent blending is anticipated to be achieved, about 450 crore litres of ethanol would be demanded, which will be about 117 crore litres more than the anticipated supplies in 2020-21.
Assuming that most of the added quantity of 117 crore litres will come from cane juice and B-Hefty molasses, it will translate into diversion of an added thirteen lt of sugar as compared to preceding yr.
