"This spike followed the government's decision to allow sugar mills to use cane juice or syrup to produce ethanol for the ethanol supply year (ESY) 2024-25," Avdhut Bagkar, Technical and Derivatives Analyst at StoxBox, said. The government on Thursday permitted the use of sugarcane juice and sugar syrup for ethanol production in the 2024-25 ethanol supply year, reversing last year's ban. In December 2023, the government prohibited the use of sugarcane juice or sugar syrup for ethanol production in the 2023-24 ESY (December-November) to ensure adequate sugar availability for domestic consumption and keep prices in check. "Sugar mills and distilleries are allowed to produce ethanol from sugarcane juice/sugar syrup, B-Heavy molasses as well as C-Heavy molasses for ESY 2024-25 as per the agreement/allocation with OMCs (oil marketing companies)," the food ministry order said. The Food Ministry and Petroleum and Natural Gas Ministry will periodically review the diversion of sugar for ethanol production vis-a-vis sugar production in the country to ensure year-round availability of sugar for domestic consumption, it added. India is the world's second largest sugar producing country after Brazil.

<ul><li>After a ban on wheat exports, India is now planning to ban sugar exports, according to media reports. </li><li>This triggered a plunge in sugar companies’ stocks as exports have been a lucrative source for these companies. </li><li>Earlier, the government had announced financial and other assistance to sugar farmers, mills and distilleries. </li></ul><a href="https://www.businessinsider.in/international/news/not-just-india-many-countries-are-protecting-their-wheat-to-keep-daily-bread-affordable/articleshow/91733019.cms">After wheat</a>, reports say that the Indian government could put curbs on sugar exports. After the news hit the markets, the shares of sugar companies like Shree Renuka, Balrampur Chini, Dalmia Sugar plummeted between 5-8% in the last hour of trade today (May 24). A <a href="https://www.reuters.com/markets/commodities/india-could-restrict-sugar-exports-10-mln-t-govt-source-says-2022-05-24/">Reuters report</a> states that the government could set an export limit at 10 million tonnes, which is slightly above the export contracts of 9 million tonnes already signed for the current season. India is the world’s largest manufacturer of sugar, and the second largest exporter after Brazil. It is worth noting that the Indian government recently <a href="https://pib.gov.in/PressReleasePage.aspx?PRID=1826708">announced</a> measures to support sugar farmers and mills financially. It increased the ‘fair &amp; remunerative price’ (FRP), and provided interest subsidies to the tune of 50% to sugar mills and distilleries. <div type="image" title="Sugar farmers 1" msid="91766899"

While Russia and Ukraine are both major exporters of food grains, countries like India, which are self-sufficient in items like wheat, rice and others, also bore the brunt of rising food prices. Across the world, 43 countries have placed protective measures to ensure they have adequate stocks of wheat. India went so far as to call out the West, saying that food grains should not face the same fate as Covid-19 vaccines. “A number of low-income societies are today confronted with the twin challenges of rising costs and difficulty in access to food grains. Even those like India, who have adequate stocks, have seen an unjustified increase in food prices,” said Minister of State for External Affairs V Muraleedharan in the UN on May 18. “It is clear that hoarding and speculation is at work. We cannot allow this to pass unchallenged,” he further added.

In the last one year, the government has come out with a slew of measures to encourage sugar mills to produce ethanol. Ethanol is an alcohol-based fuel produced by fermenting the sugarcane juice. Ethanol has been a game changer for the sugar industry In October, 2021, the government announced an incentive to encourage sugar companies to divert excess sugar cane stock in producing ethanol, which can be blended with petrol and used as fuel in vehicles. Besides, this is also a good solution to address the problem of excess sugar production in the country. Stock prices of many sugar companies doubled in 2021. <table style="border-width: initial; border-style: none;" class="redcator-table-advance"><colgroup></colgroup><col /><col /><col /><tbody><tr><td

measures to boost ethanol production In an effort to reduce import of petroleum products, the government has been encouraging farmers to produce ethanol that can be blended with petrol and used as a fuel in vehicles. Also, the centre has advised auto makers to manufacture flex fuel vehicles that are capable of running on both ethanol-based fuel and petrol. Maruti Suzuki, Toyota, Honda, BMW and Mercedes have been told to make vehicles that can run on ethanol based fuel, said Union Minister for Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari in an Agro-Vision event in Nagpur this week while encouraging farmers to grow more sugarcane plants. <div type="javascript" title="Custom" contenttype="Image"><cdata><![CDATA[<blockquote class="twitter-tweet">In order to substitute India’s import of petroleum as a fuel and to provide direct benefits to our farmers, we have now advised the Automobile Manufacturers in India to start manufacturing Flex Fuel Vehicles (FFV) and Flex Fuel Strong Hybrid Electric Vehicles (FFV-SHEV)..(1/4)&mdash; Nitin Gadkari (@nitin_gadkari) <a href="https://twitter.com/nitin_gadkari/status/1475421256266567685?ref_src=twsrc%5Etfw">December 27, 2021</a></blockquote> <script async src="https://platform.twitter.com/widgets.js" charset="utf-8"></script>]]></cdata></div>The move is in line with the government’s target to reduce the carbon emissions by one billion tonnes by 2030. Analysts say sugar industry has a long way to go Sugar industry in India is expected to grow by 6-7% in the years 2021-2022 due to growth in exports of sugar and ethanol, said Manoj Dalmia, founder and director, Proficient equities. “Exports taking place from India will rise as Brazil is facing weather changes impacting crops. India is to register exports of around 4-6 million tonnes for (sugar 2022). Government plans 20% ethanol blending by 2025 in petrol, currently it is 10%. This measure will reduce the debt burden on farmers as a result sugar stocks are to grow,” said Dalmia.

Sugar companies witness a sweet rally on ethanol excitement that may continue in 2022 as well

<ul><li>India plans to start using 20% <keyword id="440140" type="General" weightage="80" keywordseo="Ethanol-blended-petrol" source="Orion">ethanol blended petrol</keyword> from 2025.</li><li>Currently, most petrol pumps give 10% ethanol blended petrol.</li><li>Economists argue that ethanol production in the future will have to rely more on maize and less on sugarcane and rice. </li></ul> At present, when you go to fill petrol, the petrol you get is mixed with 10% ethanol and the government is looking to double this by 2025. Prime Minister Narendra Modi rolled out 20% ethanol-blended petrol in select gas stations in 11 States and Union Territories earlier this year as part of a programme to increase use of biofuels to cut emissions as well as dependence on foreign exchange-draining imports. First, how is ethanol made? Most of the fuel ethanol produced around the world is made by fermenting the sugar in the starches of grains such as corn, sorghum, and barley, and the sugar in sugar cane and sugar beets, as per the US Energy Information Administration. <keyword id="13884282" type="General" weightage="60" keywordseo="what-is-ethanol-blending" source="Orion">What is ethanol blending</keyword> and how does it help? <keyword id="146615" type="General" weightage="100" keywordseo="ethanol-blending" source="Orion">Ethanol blending</keyword> is nothing but blended motor fuel containing ethyl alcohol that is at least 99% pure and is derived from agricultural products, and blended exclusively with petrol. An ethanol blended petrol helps on two counts. One, ethanol is a biofuel and so it is good for the environment. Second, it helps India as a country to cut down on its crude oil import bills. Ethanol and the environment Grain-based ethanol cuts greenhouse gas emissions significantly by 44 to 52% compared to gasoline, according to the US Department of Energy's Argonne National Laboratory. A report by Renewable Fuels Association says that researchers from Harvard, MIT, and Tufts have concluded that today's corn ethanol offers an average GHG reduction of 46% versus gasoline. Emerging technologies promise to boost that reduction to near 70% in the next few years, according to USDA. So, what is the government’s plan? The government has said it plans to push up the current 10% ethanol blended petrol to 20% in the next two years across India. This work is happening in two phases. In the first phase, 15 cities will be covered and then it will be expanded throughout the country in the next two years. Consumer Affairs Minister Piyush Goyal has said that the government is confident of achieving its target by 2025. Is E-20 petrol available currently? E-20 (petrol blendend with 20% ethanol) was initially available in only 84 petrol pumps in the country. A media report says that it is currently available in close to 1,000 stations. It is noteworthy here that the price of ethanol blended petrol isn’t different for the consumer. Challenges being faced by the industry Currently, most of the ethanol being produced uses either sugarcane on rice as its raw material. Both these crops are water intensive. A month back, when rice prices shot up, The Indian ethanol manufacturers faced a tough time as rice supply was stopped to the industry. This has led to agricultural economists like Ashok Gulati to advocate relying on maize as a policy. Price hike demand accepted The government hiked ethanol rates a month back after the industry demanded a hike arguing without proper returns there cannot be additional investments to boost supply. Now, the purchase price of ethanol produced from rice has been increased by ₹4.75/litre to ₹60.29/litre and for ethanol produced from maize, price has been hiked by ₹6.01/litre to ₹62.36/litre. The reliance on sugar… The Niti Aayog estimates that India will require 1,400 crore litres of ethanol to achieve its target of 20% blending by 2025. This, in turn, means that there is a big jump required in the production of sugar. A report by the Hindu states that out of the 550 crore litres of ethanol that has been produced since November last year, 450 crore litres came from the sugar industry. What about falling sugar production and its impact? Erratic rainfall in the 2023 monsoon season means that sugar production in India will be hit. In fact, a report by Reuters says that India, the second biggest producer of sugar globally, is considering banning sugar exports for the first time in seven years to fight the deficit. Moreover, sugar prices in the country have jumped by more than 3% in a fortnight to their highest level in six years. Concerns about sugar production... The Indian Sugar Mills Association (ISMA) has forecasted a 3.3% production fall in the current sugar year to 31.7 mn tonnes. It is roughly estimated that the country consumes 27.5mn tonnes leaving only a surplus of approximately 4 mn tonnes, as per a Systematix Institutional Equities report. This will hit ethanol production and thus the push to shift to maize by the government. How have the <keyword id="97985" type="General" weightage="40" keywordseo="sugar-stocks" source="Orion">sugar stocks</keyword> fared? Sugar stocks have had a mixed bag performance for most of the past year. While Balrampur Chini is up 3.4% and Dalmia Bharat Sugar is up almost 10% year-to-date, Shree Renuka Sugars and Dwarikesh Sugar have slipped over 7%.

These companies might see their stocks come under pressure on the bourses due to the weakness in the <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Brazilian+economy">Brazilian economy</a>. 
 Moreover the US rating agency said mounting political turmoil and the difficulties faced by President <keyword id="440692" type="PERSON" weightage="100" keywordseo="Dilma-Rousseff">Dilma Rousseff</keyword>'s government in tackling growing debt was the main reason behind the downgrade. 
 The Indian companies, which have sizeable exposure to the Brazilian market, include United Phosphorous and <keyword id="6773472" type="COMPANY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Torrent-Pharma">Torrent Pharma</keyword>, whose revenue shares from this market go into double digits, besides Glenmark, KEC International, <keyword id="107782" type="CITY" weightage="60" keywordseo="Rallis-India">Rallis India</keyword>, Cadila, <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Tata+Motors">Tata Motors</a>, Havells India and <keyword id="6357150" type="CITY" weightage="100" keywordseo="TCS">TCS</keyword>.

Let’s see what happened after the US rating agency downgraded Brazil: Ø Stocks of companies with revenue exposure or investment plans in Brazil fell in Thursday's trade. Oil and Natural Gas Corp and <keyword id="6354248" type="CITY" weightage="40" keywordseo="Videocon">Videocon</keyword> Industries, which have heavy investments in Brazil's oil and gas sector, fell 2.36% and 0.7%, respectively. 
 
Ø Shree Renuka Sugars, which made acquisitions in Brazil recently, fell 1.6%. UPL plunged 4.5%. 
 
Ø Torrent Pharma dropped 3%, Glenmark Pharma fell 1.9%, while Cadila Healthcare was down half a per cent. 
 
Ø Lupin declined 2%, while Sun Pharma was down 0.3%. KEC International slipped 2.3%, while Rallis India was trading flat. Praj Industries and MM Forgings fell 2.6% each. 
 
In April 2008, Brazil was awarded an investment-grade rating by the US rating agency. At that time the country's economy was on rise. However, sliding commodity prices and austerity have created a recession. 
 
Earlier this week, economist said Brazil's <a href="http://www.businessinsider.in/searchresult.cms?query=Gross+Domestic+Product+">Gross Domestic Product</a> is expected to contract by 2.3% and the nation will have to borrow to cover all its interest payments (if interest payments are included, the total deficit this year is projected to be 8-9%). 
 
The faster-than-anticipated downgrade of the nation from investment grade will likely rock Brazilian financial markets and increase borrowing costs for the government and Brazilian companies.
