India’s push for ethanol blending — mixing plant-based fuel into petrol — is now raising serious concerns about water usage. While the goal is to reduce oil imports, experts say the process relies heavily on water-intensive crops like rice, sugarcane, and maize. Shockingly, producing just one litre of ethanol from rice can use over 10,000 litres of water.
The government is also increasing the use of rice for ethanol production, which may impact both water resources and food distribution. With production expanding in already water-stressed states like Maharashtra, the debate is growing — is this clean fuel coming at the cost of India’s water security?

भारत में पेट्रोल-डीजल की खपत लगातार बढ़ रही है. इस वजह से सरकार वैकल्पिक माध्यमों जैसे एथेनॉल के इस्तेमाल पर जोर दे रही है.
एथेनॉल बनाने में मक्का, गन्ना, चावल जैसी ��सलों का यूज होता है. ऐसे में ये जानना जरूरी है कि इसमें कितना पानी इस्तेमाल होगा
