India Biofuel Market Overview
The reached USD 5.82 Billion in 2024. Looking forward, IMARC Group expects the market to reach USD 9.87 Billion by 2033, exhibiting a steady growth rate (CAGR) of 6.05% during 2025-2033.
The market is witnessing a structural shift, primarily driven by the government's aggressive push to achieve 20% ethanol blending in petrol by 2025. This mandate has incentivized sugar mills and grain-based distilleries to ramp up capacity. The market is also propelled by the diversification of feedstocks beyond sugarcane to include surplus grains like maize and rice, ensuring a stable supply chain. Furthermore, the rising focus on Waste-to-Energy projects is fueling the production of Compressed Bio-Gas (CBG) from agricultural residue and municipal solid waste, supported by the SATAT (Sustainable Alternative Towards Affordable Transportation) initiative.
Top Emerging Trends in the India Biofuel Market:
- Feedstock Diversification: Increasing utilization of non-food biomass (bamboo, crop stubble) and surplus grains to reduce reliance on sugar crops and address food security concerns.
- 2G Ethanol Refineries: Strategic investments by OMCs to set up 12 Second Generation (2G) bio-refineries capable of converting lignocellulosic biomass into ethanol.
- Bio-bunkering: Pioneering initiatives like BPCL's launch of India's first biofuel blend High Flash High-Speed Diesel (HFHSD) for the shipping industry.
- Flex-Fuel Vehicles: Upcoming launch of 100% ethanol-powered vehicles by major automakers like Toyota and Mahindra, boosting domestic ethanol demand.
India Biofuel Market Growth Factors (Drivers)
- Energy Security: Critical need to reduce the massive import bill for crude oil by substituting it with domestically produced biofuels.
- Government Incentives: Financial assistance, viability gap funding, and guaranteed procurement prices for ethanol and biodiesel producers.
- Farmer Income: Creating a new revenue stream for farmers by monetizing agricultural waste and surplus crops.
- Environmental Goals: Commitments to reduce carbon emissions and manage agricultural waste (stubble burning) through bio-energy conversion.
