GREEN ENERGY & OUTPUT BUSINESS

The Strategic Importance of the Ethanol Industry: India’s ethanol sector represents a transformative opportunity—fueling energy security, uplifting rural economies, and driving environmental sustainability. The Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme has already saved ₹1.08 lakh crore in foreign exchange, reduced CO₂ emissions by 557 lakh metric tonnes, and substituted 185 lakh metric tonnes of crude oil. By 2025, India aims for 20% ethanol blending, requiring over 1,000 crore litres annually, with maize and surplus rice emerging as key feedstocks.Ethanol production supports:

• Energy independence by reducing crude oil imports
• Farmer prosperity by creating a ₹35,000 crore market for surplus grains
• Climate action through lower emissions and clean energy adoption

With strong government backing, grain-based ethanol—especially from maize and broken rice—is fast becoming central to India’s green energy roadmap.

RGP Agronomics’ Entry into the Ethanol Space

Recognizing this opportunity, RGP Agronomics Pvt. Ltd., through its agri-commerce platform Dharti, is strategically expanding its operations to become a key player in the ethanol supply chain. As part of its output business vertical, RGP Agronomics will:

• Begin supplying rice and maize—critical feedstocks for ethanol distilleries
• Facilitate forward contracts and farmer buyback models to ensure steady, traceable raw material flows
• Establish strategic tie-ups with leading ethanol manufacturers to ensure consistent demand
• Leverage its deep-rooted network in high-potential agri districts to source efficiently

By integrating this with its already strong agri-inputs segment, RGP aims to lead India’s full-circle agri-commerce ecosystem, bridging both the input and output sides of the value chain, and positioning itself as a future-ready partner in India’s biofuel revolution.
