The government on Thursday notified a "modified" scheme to provide financial assistance to distilleries producing first-generation ethanol from feedstocks, including cereals.
The sources said both the petroleum and food ministries are of the view that ethanol production cannot be dependent on one feedstock, that is, sugarcane, for achieving the target of 20 per cent ethanol blending with petrol by 2030
