GASOHOL SALE WILL BE MADE MANDATORY FOR OIL MARKETING FIRMS (eight States to sell gasohol from 1 Jan 2003) August 3, 2002 8:48pm 07/29/2002 Financial Times Information Limited - Asia Africa Intelligence Wire http://hoovnews.hoovers.com/fp.asp?layout=displaynews&doc_id=NR20020804670.2_c8cd0000e847a625
The Government of India is likely to make sale of gasohol (a blend of ethanol and petrol) mandatory for all oil-marketing companies. To begin with, blended petrol will be sold in eight States: Uttar Pradesh, Andhra Pradesh, Karnataka, Maharashtra, Gujarat, Tamil Nadu, Punjab and Haryana from 1 Jan 2003. In the second phase, the entire country will sell gasohol. The move comes as a boon to sugarcane growers, who can now sell their raw material to the petrol industry. Petrol companies, however, are not happy with the move, as they already have excessive capacity and introduction of gasohol will reduce the demand for petroleum products. `` ------------------------ Yahoo!
