Sugar Stocks Jump Up to 5% After Govt Waives Excise Duty on E22–E30 Ethanol Petrol Blends

Sugar stocks surged up to 5% today after the government announced an excise duty waiver on higher ethanol-blended petrol (E22–E30). Investors see this as a big boost for sugar companies, which produce ethanol from sugarcane.

🔹 Key Points:

  • Govt removed excise duty on petrol with 22–30% ethanol.
  • Higher ethanol blending = more demand for ethanol.
  • Sugar companies benefit because they produce ethanol as a by-product.
  • Stocks like Dhampur, Balrampur, Dwarikesh saw buying interest.
  • Impact on consumers: No immediate petrol price drop, but long-term cleaner fuel adoption expected.
  • Market view: Structural positive for the sugar sector.
