Gulshan Polyols secured an additional ethanol allocation under the Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme (EBPP) for the third quarter of Ethanol Supply Year (ESY) 2025-26. The company had participated in a tender floated by oil marketing companies (OMCs) and received an order for the supply of 2,923 kiloliters of ethanol.
BPCL and IOCL award ethanol allocation
The ethanol supply allocation has been awarded by Bharat Petroleum Corporation Limited (BPCL) and Indian Oil Corporation Limited (IOCL). According to the company, the contract will be executed during ESY 2025-26 as part of the government’s ongoing ethanol blending initiative. Gulshan Polyols further clarified that the order is entirely domestic in nature and does not involve any related-party transaction or promoter interest in the awarding entities.
Strengthening India’s ethanol blending programme
The Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme, overseen by the government aims to reduce the country’s dependence on crude oil imports by increasing ethanol blending in petrol. At the same time, the programme supports domestic sugarcane-based and grain-based ethanol producers while promoting cleaner fuel adoption and energy security. As reported by chinimandi.com, the latest allocation further strengthens Gulshan Polyols’ position in the growing ethanol and biofuel market as India continues to accelerate its clean energy and blending targets.
