Not Available ; Energy crisis has become a fundamental issue over mankind across the globe. To meet the energy demand for transport, blending of bioethanol with gasoline has been mandated in India like several other developing and developed countries. Moreover, in spite of urbanisation and industrial development, agriculture sector has long been the backbone of Indian economy. Currently in India, sugarcane molasses is being used for the production of bioethanol but cannot fulfil the demand of ethanol for blending targets. Therefore, the surplus crop residues may be explored for second-generation biofuel to meet the demand for alternative and renewable energy sources. However, the national policy on biofuels has no clear long-term mandated targets and penalties to ensure its successful execution. To safeguard the long-term sustainability and economic viability of Indian bioethanol market, it is indispensable to diversify the feedstock basket and gain insights from the reality of pilot-scale studies. India's present bioethanol production scenario can be boosted by introduction of new low-cost technology for the bioconversion of lignocellulosics. This chapter is a comprehensive analysis of the future of bioethanol market in India based on biomass availability, policy barriers and perspectives along with the possible solutions. ; Not Available
