Abstract

• Ethanol production of India is ranked 4th largest in the world. However, the production capacity of India was much more than its actual production. With uses in different segments, ethanol demand is increasing in India.
• The biodiesel production is in its initial phase and the commercial production is still waiting for a start. The densities of raw materials for biodiesel production in India are high but it is lacking in production and plantation of raw material (Jatropha) for biodiesel production.
• Government’ primary objectives for Biofuels industry are environmental factors along with diversity & security of energy supply of energy. This is working as the primary driving force for the industry growth.
• Expanded Biofuels production has the potential to create new opportunities for sustaining the rural development in a market-orientated common agricultural sector.

• Market forces driving the industry & challenges faced by it.
• Is future of Biofuels industry is bright in India?
• What will be the Biofuels demand scenario in India in 2010?
• Are Government policies in India favoring Biofuels industry?
• How big is the petroleum-based energy market in India?
• What is the contribution of sugar industry in ethanol production in India?
