In the year 2012, India's government subsidies to promote biofuels seem to be a solution to multiple objectives. Adoption of ethanol production synthesized the following reasons encountered in the global context: The growth experienced in the ethanol production & blending of fuels by the Brazilian sugar industry, stabilization in demand & supply position in the sugar industry, reduction in Forex payment burden. The Indian Sugar Mills Association suggested the production & sale of ethanol is much more profitable than molasses as a primary by-product of sugar. The paper aims to analyze the impact of subsidies on ethanol production by sugar mills in India. Outline the subsidies provided by the government of India to induce the production of ethanol. The result suggests that production is Insignificant and weakly associated with the subsidies granted. Subsidies play a vital role in motivating different stakeholders to adopt in the cultivation, generation, and blending of biofuels. Improve and adapt the policy to meet up the blending targets set by the government. Assisting soft loans, single-window query systems need to be made adopted to a different generation of biofuels.
