India has taken an unprecedented initiative in the field of bio fuels since last 5 years. Several policy interventions and removal of many hurdles in implementation of National blending targets have been initiated. Ministry of Petroleum & Natural Gas has given a big push for the Ethanol Blending program and is close to achieving 5% blending at National level. The bio diesel blending program started on 10 August 2015 as a pilot in 5 cities has now been extended to 6 states and sold through nearly 3700 retail outlets in the country and is geared up for further scaling. The Ministry also has initiated several actions for mainstreaming biogas program.

We are at the threshold of rapid scaling of the Bio Energy program and still have many challenges to be addressed. While we have a National policy in place, several challenges associated with the different technologies in the area of Bio-Energy and with the entire value chain needs be looked into and aggressively pursued.
