A look at official data shows that the allocation of Food Corporation of India rice for ethanol was drastically increased in 2021-22, as compared to 2020-21. But the government has now put restrictions due to low production

The Narendra Modi government imposed restrictions on the export of broken rice September 8, 2022. A number of theories are doing the rounds as to why the government did this, including a poor kharif season and an increase in rice prices. But a rice exporter told Down To Earth that the reason was ethanol.

Broken rice is used in India for ethanol production and as fodder for livestock. India will need 11,000 million litres of ethanol by 2025. The target cannot be not met by sugarcane alone.

Therefore, in 2019-20, permission was granted to use broken rice, maize and (unbroken) rice belonging to the Food Corporation of India (FCI) for ethanol production.

Some 81,044 tonnes of FCI rice was allocated in the ethanol supply year (December-November) 2020-21, according to data presented by Union Ministry of Consumer Affairs, Food and Public Distribution Secretary Sudhanshu Pandey. Some 49,233 tonnes of this were used.
