The NBCC in year 2020, after holding discussions with various stake holders and after taking into consideration the sufficient availability of rice and maize in the country, has recommended the production of ethanol from surplus rice available with FCI and from maize for blending with petrol under EBP programme, across the country including North Eastern States, which was accepted by the Government.
