Why is ethanol banned in India?

Answer

Ethanol itself is not banned in India in fact, the government promotes ethanol-blended petrol for environmental and energy security reasons. Some states have prohibition laws restricting or banning alcoholic beverages, but industrial and fuel ethanol are legal and encouraged. Regulations vary significantly by state.
