Ethanol : tool to balance sugar production  Adequate alcohol availability to meet consumption requirement of all 3 sectors. Therefore, present annual alcohol requirement is just about 2.3 billion litres against production of 2.6 billion litres  Energy content of upto 10% ethanol blended petrol equivalent to pure petrol, and benefits of ethanol justify a premium  Buyer of ethanol enjoys monopoly position  At 5% blending, USD 900 million of foreign exchange saved annually 3

Bagasse based cogeneration of power  At current installed crushing capacity, potential to generate power is said to be 7500 MW  Only 210mills generating exportable power  Currently, 3200 MW of power is exported by sugar mills to the grid  Rates offered by State Government agencies in the range of INR 3.12 - INR 5.14 per unit  Some units are trading power at INR 4.5 per unit too 4

What is the way forward? • Cane pricing policy • Revenue realisation of sugar mills • Encourage ethanol production • Improve revenue from by-products 12

Encourage ethanol production • Several major benefits: – Fuel ethanol reduces pollution – It gives higher revenue realisation to sugar mills – Better remuneration to farmers – Substitutes petrol, which can then be exported, earning foreign exchange for the country • Central Government has initiated steps to encourage ethanol: – Fixed pricing policy – Price linked to cane FRP, even when crude price falling • State Governments need to encourage ethanol too: – Remove Taxes/duties on fuel ethanol – Allow freer movement of ethanol – Give annual excise permits, both for intra and inter-State 13

Ethanol production State-wise production capacities: State No. of Capacity State No. of Capacity (in crore litres (in crore litres mills mills per annum) per annum Uttar 28 65.76 Maharashtra 50 60.60 Pradesh Karnataka 17 31.20 Tamil Nadu 8 9.60 Andhra/ 14 14.85 Gujarat 8 7.86 Telengana Bihar 5 7.42 Punjab 1 1.2 Haryana/ 2 1.65 TOTAL 133 200.14 Uttarakahnd Additionally, there are 24 stand-alone distilleries with capacity of 23.73 crore litres per annum Total ethanol production capacity in India is 223.87 crore litres p.a. 14

Cogeneration of power • Indian sugar industry has potential to export 7500 MW power – Current installed capacity of 4200 MW – 255 mills have cogeneration facilities • State-wise installed capacity is as follows State No. of Capacity State No. of Capacity (in (in MWh) mills mills MWh) Uttar Pradesh 60 1050 Maharashtra 66 1000 Karnataka 54 1000 Tamil Nadu 30 563 Andhra 21 259 Gujarat - - /Telengana Bihar 7 89 Punjab 8 154 Others 10 108 TOTAL 255 4223 15

Still some challenges to overcome… • Cost of transporting ethanol over longer distances • Excise permits for inter-State movement • Taxes & duties on ethanol 16

Taxes & duties on by States State Govt. Export duty Import duty VAT Others U.P. 1.00 - 0.95 Maharashtra 1.50 1.50 5% Municipal & octroi Karnataka 5.5% Delhi 2.00 Gujarat 3.00 Kerala 0.56 M.P. 1.00 Punjab 2.00 Rajasthan 1.00 Uttarakhand 1.10 Tamil Nadu 8% Admn Ch 0.50 A.P. 5.5% 17

Supplementing ethanol availability • At 10% blending, requirement is 230 crore litres of ethanol – Current contracts for only 81 crore litres – Supply-demand gap of 150 crore litres • B-heavy molasses can give 580 crore litres of alcohol, instead of 270 crore litres currently made out of C-heavy molasses – Addl availability of 310 crore litres, sufficient for even 15% blending • But mills will need around Rs.7 per litre of compensation to divert the B-heavy molasses into ethanol 18

Govt. incentives required • Either Government gives subsidy of Rs.7 per litre of ethanol – Or remove central excise duty of 12.5%, giving Rs.5 per litre benefit – Cenvat allowed on molasses, so excise on molasses for ethanol will need to be removed • For 150 crore litres, subsidy will be Rs.1000 crore • Benefit to the country much larger – Earn foreign exchange of Rs.7000 crore through (saved) petrol exports – Green, renewable fuel: pollution control – Farmers & domestic industry benefit: Make in India 19

Low rates for exported power to grid  Karnataka: Rs.4.83 per unit  Maharashtra: Rs.6.07 to 6.27 per unit*  U.P .: Rs.4.68 to 5.67 per unit*  Tamil Nadu: Rs.3.67 to 4.15 per unit* 23

Competitiveness of Sugar Industry  Main reason for an uncompetitive sugar industry is  High cost of production of sugar  Which is in turn only because of an unrealistically high cane price  Sugar mills in India pay the highest cane price in the world  Urgent need to rationalise the cane pricing policy  Link the cane price to revenue realisation  Adopted in Maharastra & Karnataka  Followed world over  Use ethanol blending programme to balance surplus 24
