Last week, the government announced that India had met the target of 10% ethanol blending with motor fuel ahead of time. The target for 20% blending had earlier been brought forward to 2025 from 2030.

But is this the path that India should choose? Are there better alternatives to ethanol? What is the downside to the use of ethanol?
