Govt explains(인도) 에탄올이 더 많이 들어갔는데도 E20 휘발유가 더 저렴하지 않은 이유는? 인도 정부가 설명하다Busoness Standard  Jul 10 2026  ( 요약 ) The Government of India stated that E20 petrol is currently more expensive to produce than conventional petrol because ethanol is procured at government-supported prices that are higher than the cost advantage of crude oil under current market conditions. Despite the higher production cost, the government continues to promote E20 as part of its long-term strategy to reduce crude oil imports, strengthen energy security, lower foreign exchange expenditure, reduce carbon emissions, and increase farmers' income through greater demand for ethanol.인도 정부는 현재 시장 상황에서는 인도 정부가 보장가격으로 구매하는 에탄올의 가격이 원유 가격 대비 비용 절감 효과보다 높기 때문에 E20 휘발유의 생산비가 일반 휘발유보다 더 높다고 밝혔다. 그럼에도 불구하고 정부는 원유 수입 의존도 감소, 에너지 안보 강화, 외화 지출 절감, 탄소배출 저감, 그리고 에탄올 수요 확대를 통한 농가 소득 증대를 장기적인 국가 전략으로 추진하기 위해 E20 보급 정책을 계속 확대하고 있다고 설명했다. (의견) 쉽게 이야기 하면 인도에서 생산되는 에탄올이 가격이 비싸도 인도 국내산이기에 원유 수입 의존도 감소에 목적을 둔다는 것입니다.
