Abstract

The ethanol blended petrol (EBP) programme of 2018 is a policy framework designed to pro- mote the availability of ethanol in the Indian market and to increase its blending percentage in petrol. The paper focuses on the features, current challenges and critically analyzes EBP 2018. It also compares EBP 2018 with the ethanol blending policies of leading nations and suggests remedial measures. EBP 2009 had proposed a 20% blending target for ethanol in petrol by 2017, while EBP 2018 has fixed a 10% ethanol blending target by 2022 and 20% by 2030. The ethanol blending target could not be achieved till now and the current blending rate stood at 2%. Taxes and inter-state controls on the trading and transportation of molasses and non-potable ethanol by various states in India coupled with their set aside allotment continue to derail the implementation of the EBP programme. EBP 2018 proposed differential pricing and incentives for 2G ethanol versus 1G ethanol which is regressive. The paper also analyses whether the ethanol blending and other policy measures had the desired impact on realization of EBP goals and on socio-economic development.

印度乙醇混合汽油项目的数据分析

2018年的乙醇混合汽油（EBP）计划是一个政策框架，旨在促进乙醇在印度市场的供应，并提高其在汽油中的混合比例。本文重点介绍了EBP 2018的特点、当前面临的挑战，并对其进行了批判性分析。它还将2018年EBP与主要国家的乙醇混合政策进行了比较，并提出了补救措施。EBP 2009提出了到2017年汽油中乙醇混合比例为20%的目标，而EBP 2018则确定了到2022年和2030年乙醇混合比例分别为10%和20%的目标。到目前为止，乙醇的混合目标还没有实现，目前的混合率为2%。印度各州对糖蜜和非饮用乙醇贸易和运输的税收和州际控制，加上其预留拨款，继续阻碍EBP计划的实施。EBP 2018提出了2G乙醇与1G乙醇的差异定价和激励措施，这是回归的。本文还分析了乙醇混合和其他政策措施是否对EBP目标的实现和社会经济发展产生了预期的影响。
