‘It is upon the Department of Food & Public Distribution to give the green signal to the FCI for releasing approximately two million tons of rice which has been earmarked for producing ethanol…’ a senior official from the petroleum ministry told NewsClick.

New Delhi: Not only has the Central Government’s decision to use surplus rice stocks in the country for producing ethanol, been criticised for being done at a time when food shortage is projected due to slowdown in global economic activity owing to the COVID-19 pandemic. The reasons given by the government for the decision – manufacture of hand sanitisers and ethanol blended petrol – though legal, as per provisions of the National Policy on Biofuel, 2018, have also been criticised for being shallow.

The Centre is yet to formally announce the exact quantity of rice which will go into ethanol production. However, as per sources, the National Biofuel Coordination Committee (NBCC) has decided to use approximately two million tons of rice from the Food Corporation of India (FCI) godowns for the purpose. As per estimates, the amount of rice is enough to meet the food requirements of families of all ration-card holders in the country, about 65% of our total population, for as many as 15 days.
