Ethanol distilleries can buy 23 lakh MT rice from FCI

Allowing the Food Corporation of India (FCI) to sell rice to distilleries for ethanol production, the Centre Thursday said that a maximum 23 lakh metric tonnes of rice may be allowed for lifting to ethanol distilleries.

In an order, the Department of Food and Public Distribution said, “The distilleries may be allowed to participate in e-auction and lift the rice during Aug-Oct 2024 as per the final auction rate of rice every week.”

“The rice may be allowed for lifting subject to allocation of ethanol to the concerned distilleries by OMCs using FCI rice as feedstock,” it said.
