"Atmanirbhar" India running on US GMO corn? 🌽🇺🇸
Local farmers struggle, while PDS rice & maize are diverted to fuel. Worse, US DDGS imports & the GAIL-Petron JV open backdoors for US agri-giants. Policy fraud or strategic surrender? #E20Ethanol #FoodSecurity

[Vishal Singh Jain @VishhalSJain]

To the Government of India:
@PMOIndia @PIB_India @pib_law @HMOIndia @mygovindia

VSJ Ventures LTD was built on a promise — fairness, transparency, and the discipline to see what others miss.

We studied India’s E20 ethanol programme deeply. Our considered conclusion is uncomfortable but clear:

E20 no longer looks like a farmer-first fuel programme. It looks like an architecture through which US corn and corn-derived products can enter India by whichever route remains open — whole corn, industrial ethanol, DDGS, derivatives, or technology routing.

Maize has been diverted from animal feed into ethanol. FCI rice has been made available for ethanol conversion. Broken-rice streams linked to the PDS are being positioned as ethanol feedstock. Sugar has also been diverted. Whatever the explanation — surplus, damaged grain, stock management or quality improvement — the policy fact remains: food security is being converted into fuel feedstock.

Then comes the DDGS contradiction.

India was exporting nearly 300,000 tonnes of maize DDGS in 2024. Yet your government opened the door to DDGS imports from the United States. DDGS is not a rare American input; it is the automatic by-product of maize-based ethanol production. Indian distilleries already produce it. India did not need the US for ordinary DDGS.

So why import it?

US DDGS comes from US corn ethanol, and US corn is overwhelmingly GMO. India has resisted GM corn directly. Is DDGS now the indirect route?

Then comes Petron Scientech — a US company with DuPont-linked ethanol technology, brought into a 50:50 JV pathway with GAIL. India did not need Petron for ordinary ethanol or DDGS. Indian companies already do both.

So what exactly was being introduced — animal feed, or a pathway?

Add the industrial ethanol route. Industrial ethanol and fuel ethanol are both ethanol. The distinction is not molecular; it is a correctable specification-and-compliance gap — grade, denaturant, water content, impurity limits, paperwork, classification and declared end use.

The routes are now visible: food grains into ethanol, US ethanol directly, US DDGS indirectly, and US technology inside the architecture.

No institutional fund says this lightly to a sovereign government: we want to be proved wrong. We understand the asymmetry and the risk. We assume it knowingly, because the research demands it and the country deserves clarity.

So here is our challenge - NOW PROVE US WRONG

Declare in Parliament:

1. No US corn-derived ethanol into India’s E20 programme under any label;
2. US DDGS, if permitted, capped, feed-use-only, end-use audited, and barred from ethanol reprocessing;
3. No US GM corn entry through grain, ethanol, DDGS, derivatives or technology routing;
4. And no permanent use of public food stocks as fuel feedstock.

Not a clarification. Not a technical denial. A binding public safeguard.

For India’s farmers, food sovereignty and seed independence, we sincerely hope you prove us wrong.

We will be the first to celebrate it.

Every business journalist (and probably every big investor) knows how big corporates finance mega projects.

Banks (usually PSUs) promise to give an 80% loan if the company puts up 20%.

So, the company fudges the projected costs: If it was 100, it is shown as 125.

The bank gives 80% of 125, which is 100; the company puts in NOTHING.

It earns all the profits, but has no skin in the game if the project fails.

If things do go south, the company can exit and tell the lenders to recover their money by selling assets.

The banks then realise there are no assets to be sold; the company's directors had already siphoned off a large chunk of the loan to build personal assets.

So, the next time you hear that some company has promised to invest mega bucks in some project, please understand that the money will come from a PSU bank.

Your deposits will be used as a base to generate loans for Big Business.

Youngsters/RTI activists who raise their voice, ask hard questions, expose systemic flaws are ‘cockroaches’?? Really your Lordship?? Is this what we have come to in our ‘democracy’? REALLY? Wonder what the likes of Justice Krishna Iyer would have to say. 😡

Booked a Tatkal Sleeper ticket today from kanpur central to New Delhi.

Filled every detail in seconds, but IRCTC kept showing- "We are experiencing high load."

Tried repeatedly, Then my ID got locked out. Minutes later, every seat was gone.

So the question is - who actually gets these Tatkal tickets?
Genuine passengers or a system designed to fail common people every morning?

If lakhs of users face the same "high load" issue daily, why has it still not fixed it?

Or is the chaos itself benefiting someone?

Govt fuel revenue (12 yrs): ₹72.19 LAKH CRORE.
Total Oil Bond cost: ₹2.25 Lakh Cr.
The "burden" is just 3% of the windfall. The Govt has enough cash to absorb the current "crisis" for 20 YEARS.

Trusting neighborhood chemist over a doctor is a rational choice against a "revenue architecture" designed to bill, not heal. While hospitals optimize for confusion, such shopkeeper is the only one with skin in the game.

“#SouthIndia cannot add new medical college seats & has to wait until Uttar Pradesh adds 14,000 more seats" 🚨

The new #ModiGovt’s NMC guidelines won't allow the establishment of new medical college seats in South India. This is because these states are already performing well & are now required to wait.

Is it fair that states like #UttarPradesh, with a population of 23.5 crore, have only 9,703 seats, which is 14,000 less than the norm, so others must now wait for their inefficiency? Is this the path to India's growth?

Health is a state subject & #UnionGovt should not interfere in a state's health policy as long as due process is followed.

In the name of enforcing standards & achieving uniformity, statutory bodies are ‘Punishing the healthy for being healthy & rewarding the sick for being sick for 75 years’ 🙏
