Distilleries Association seeks GST cuts on flex-fuel vehicles to boost in domestic demand

Feb 10, 2026

New Delhi, Feb 10, 2026 (ANI): The central argument is valid: the ethanol industry is seeking GST cuts on flex-fuel vehicles to boost demand after India achieved the E20 blending target early, leading to surplus ethanol capacity. However, most widely reported demands for GST rationalisation have come from ISMA, and there is limited independent media confirmation of AIDA leading this push in the way described. AIDA is a recognised industry body, and its broader advocacy on ethanol, bio-refineries and alternative green fuels aligns with current policy discussions.
