Summary
India's government has clarified trade pact negotiations with the US. No concessions were made regarding ethanol imports for fuel blending. Media reports suggesting policy changes are baseless and factually incorrect. India's ethanol blending program sources fuel exclusively from domestic producers. Therefore, large-scale US ethanol imports for blending are not planned.
