MAHARASHTRA EXCISE OFFICIAL DOCUMENT ANALYSIS

Document Type: Government Resolution (GR) – Policy Decision on Molasses Export Ban

Reference Number: GR No. MPL-0119/Pr.Kr.07/RAUSHU-3

Issued By: Government of Maharashtra, Home Department (महाराष्ट्र शासन, गृह विभाग)

Date of Issue: 27 December 2019

Effective Date: 30 September 2020 (ban period end date)

Portal ID: 1453

SUMMARY

This Government Resolution imposes a temporary ban on the inter-state and international export of molasses (गन्ने की खोई/मळी) produced in Maharashtra during the 2019-20 sugar season. The ban is imposed due to domestic supply shortage—production is insufficient compared to domestic demand for alcohol manufacturing, ethanol production, and cattle feed. The decision cites drought conditions in Western Maharashtra and Marathwada as contributing factors to reduced cane and molasses production. The ban applies from the date of issue (27 December 2019) until 30 September 2020, with the explicit purpose of reserving Maharashtra's molasses for internal industrial and beverage alcohol production and ethanol blending in vehicle fuel (10% blending policy).

KEY PROVISIONS

1. Scope of Ban

  • What is banned: Export of molasses (मळी) produced in Maharashtra during the 2019-20 sugar season to any other state (inter-state) or to any foreign country/territory (परिदेश).
  • Duration: From date of publication (27 December 2019) until 30 September 2020.
  • Rationale: Production insufficient compared to domestic requirement (expected 22.20 lakh MT production vs. 40 lakh MT annual requirement).

    • 2. Domestic Demand Context

    • Approximately 32 lakh MT molasses required annually for alcohol (मद्याकण) production in distilleries.
    • Approximately 2.5 lakh MT molasses required for cattle feed annually.
    • State distilleries (134 distilleries attached to sugar factories) include:
      • 95 cooperative sector units
      • 39 private sector units
      • 19 standalone distilleries
      • Additional demand for ethanol production (under Central Government's 10% ethanol blending policy in vehicle fuel, announced 2 January 2013, enforced from May 2014).
      • Central Government authorized ethanol production from B-Heavy and C-Heavy molasses (18 September 2018 and 18 December 2018 decisions).

        • 3. Previous Export Authorization (Now Suspended)

        • Prior to this GR, inter-state and international molasses export was controlled but permitted with Government prior approval (under Government Decision MPL-1213/Pr.Kr.559/RAUSHU-3 dated 4 January 2016).
        • District Collectors (Zilla Adhikari) were empowered to grant export permits under the 2016 decision.
        • This GR revokes those permissions for the 2019-20 season.

          • 4. Agricultural Context for the Ban

          • Floods in Western Maharashtra (Purvanchali regions)
          • Drought in Marathwada
          • Consequent expectation of reduced cane crushing and molasses production in 2019-20 compared to previous year.
          • 2018-19 actual data: 45.72 lakh MT molasses produced (November 2018 – April 2019); 29.18 lakh MT used for distillation/cattle feed; 3.29 lakh MT exported.
          • 2017-18 actual data: ~35-40 lakh MT molasses produced; ~35 lakh MT used internally; 1.77 lakh MT exported to other states; 2.53 lakh MT exported internationally.

            • 5. Central Government Ethanol Policy Context

            • Central Government decision (2 January 2013): 10% ethanol blending in vehicle fuel mandatory.
            • Central Government decision (18 September 2018 and 18 December 2018): Authorized distilleries to produce ethanol from B-Heavy and C-Heavy molasses.
            • Ethanol Manufacturers Association of India has requested molasses export ban due to raw material shortage for ethanol production.

मराठीत सारांश

**थोडक्यात:**
2019-20 या वर्षातील मोलॅसिस (मळी) परदेशात निर्यात करण्यावर Maharashtra सरकारने बंदी घातली.

---

**विस्तारीत स्पष्टीकरण:**

**काय बदलले?**
- 2019-20 च्या मळी हंगामात उत्पादित मोलॅसिस विदेशात पाठवण्यास मनाई केली.
- हे निर्णय गृह विभागाने 27 डिसेंबर 2019 रोजी घेतले.

**मोलॅसिस म्हणजे काय?**
- साखरेचे उत्पादन करताना जो गाढ, काळभोर द्रव्य राहतो तोच मोलॅसिस (मळी).
- हा देशी दारू (कंट्री लिकर) बनवण्यातून मुख्य कच्चा माल आहे.

**याचा मतलब:**
- शराब कारखाने आणि इतर उद्योगांना हे मोलॅसिस परदेशात विक्रयीसाठी निर्यात करू शकत नाहीत.
- संपूर्ण मोलॅसिस देशातच राहणार आणि घरगुती वापरासाठी वापरण्यात येणार.

**का करण्यात आले?**
- देशातल्या शराब उद्योगाची पुरवठा सुरक्षित ठेवण्यासाठी.
- देशीय स्पिरीट उत्पादनात स्वावलंबन राखण्यासाठी.
