India Confirms No Ethanol Import Concessions to US in Trade Talks
India's government has clarified that no concessions or commitments have been made to import ethanol from the US for fuel blending in ongoing trade talks. The ethanol blending program remains governed solely by domestic policy, sourcing ethanol exclusively from local producers. Reports suggesting a policy shift or large-scale US ethanol imports are described by officials as misleading and factually incorrect. The trade discussions focus on other US agricultural and industrial products, excluding ethanol.
