What This Document Says

Amended Rule/Section: Government Resolution dated 14.10.2020 (Reference: StateExc 0920/Pr.Kr.163/RaUshu-2), Serial No. 6, Condition No. 19

Type of Change: Substitution/Amendment

What Changed: The original GR dated 14.10.2020 contained Condition 19 which restricted stand-alone distilleries producing ethanol from B-heavy molasses to ONLY use molasses as feedstock — they were prohibited from using any other raw materials (like sugarcane juice/syrup) for ethanol production. This created an asymmetry with integrated sugar mill-distillery units that could use direct cane juice. The new amendment (dated 31.01.2023) removes this restrictive condition entirely and replaces it with a more permissive framework aligned with revised Government of India orders (dated 31.05.2021 and 13.01.2022 under the Sugarcane Control Amendment Orders).

The NEW Condition 19 now permits:

  • Integrated units (distilleries with own sugar mills): Full permission to produce ethanol directly from sugarcane juice.

# थोडक्यात:
आधी standalone distilleries फक्त मोलॅसिस वापरू शकत होत्या. आता त्यांना शुगर मिलमधून खरेदी केलेला गन्ने का रस/syrup देखील वापरता येईल — पण फक्त oil companies ला ethanol देताना.

---

## आधी काय होतं? (Old Rule)

2020 च्या नियमात standalone distilleries (ज्यांचे स्वतःचे शुगर मिल नाहीत) यांना फक्त **B-heavy मोलॅसिस** वापरून ethanol बनवता येत होतं. गन्ने का रस वा syrup वापरणे सर्वथा प्रतिबंधित होतं.

---

## आता काय बदललं? (New Rule — 31.01.2023)

### Integrated Units (स्वतःचे शुगर मिल असलेले):
- **गन्ने का रस** सरळ वापरून ethanol बनवू शकतात ✅

### Stand-alone Distilleries (शुगर मिल नाहीत):
- शुगर मिलमधून **खरेदी केलेला गन्ने का रस/syrup** वापरू शकतात ✅
- **पण फक्त** oil companies ला supply देताना (EBP — Ethanol Blending Programme अंतर्गत)
- Khandsari units कडून रस खरेदी करू **नका** ❌ (कारण khandsari Sugarcane Control Order अंतर्गत नाही)

## मुख्य बदल

| **विषय** | **आधी** | **आता** |
|---------|---------|--------|
| **Feedstock** | फक्त मोलॅसिस | मोलॅसिस + गन्ने का रस (registered मिलमधून) |
| **कोण वापरू शकतो** | Integrated units | दोन्ही types |
| **कसा वापर** | कोणताही | फक्त oil/EBP साठी |

---

## का हा बदल?

भारत सरकारने (31.05.2021 आणि 13.01.2022) ethanol उत्पादन सोपं केलं. महाराष्ट्रने या नियमांच्या अनुरूप आपले नियम अपडेट केले.

**प्रभावी तारीख:** 31 जानेवारी 2023
