In one paragraph. On 23 October 2026 the Centre amended the CMVR to allow E85 and E100 fuel in vehicles built and certified as flex-fuel; it did not order any change at petrol pumps, and the Petroleum Minister said on 27 October there is no plan to go beyond E20. The Supreme Court has not ruled against ethanol or any feedstock; on 29 October 2026 a bench asked the Centre how supply for 100%-ethanol vehicles would be arranged, in a case about ethanol allocation. The sharper shift on feedstock came from the executive: for ESY 2026-27 the Government set sugar diversion to ethanol at zero, and the OMC tender left out cane juice, sugar syrup and B-heavy molasses.

1. How farmers reach the schemes, state by state Grokcos
No central scheme pays farmers for ethanol as such. Farmers gain through the cane price that mills must pay, through state support to move land into maize, and through central schemes that run through each state's agriculture department. This section lists the routes and the official pages a farmer or officer can open. Contacts for the people named are in section 6.
Routes open in every state Grokcos
| Route | What it is | Where to go |
|---|---|---|
| Sugarcane FRP | Centre-fixed minimum the mill must pay: ₹365 per quintal for sugar season 2026-27 at 10.25% recovery; ±₹3.56 per 0.1% point; no deduction below 9.5% recovery (floor ₹338.30). Cost of production (A2+FL) ₹182 per quintal. | PIB 2258113, 5 May 2026 |
| State cane price (SAP) | Several states fix a higher price than the FRP; the figures are in each state block below. | State cane departments (section 6) |
| PM-KISAN | Income support, registered through the state agriculture department. | pmkisan.gov.in not reachable from our server; open directly |

Uttar Pradesh Largest cane state Grokcos
Farmer registration, seed and equipment booking (Rabi 2026-27 seed booking open; equipment booking 7–27 Oct 2026) and PM-KUSUM solar pumps run through the state agriculture portal.
