  • Centre Keeps Options Open for Excise Duty Exemption to Millers
    NEWS FLASH –2nd November, 2016 SUGAR Centre keeps options open for excise duty exemption to millers The Union government, which had in August this year rolled back the 12.5 per cent excise duty exemption given to ethanol producers, is not ruling out the possibility of a roll back, an official in the Ministry of Consumer Affairs suggested. This is likely to bring some hope to the millers who had invested nearly Rs 400 crore for ethanol production at their distilleries since 2012 but failed to recover their investments due to roll back of excise duty exemption, reduction of prices by Rs 3 (per litre of Ethanol) and low uptake by the oil marketing companies (OMCs). Jitender Juyal, Under Secretary, Department of Food and Public Distribution, Ministry of Consumer Affairs, told ET “Nothing can be ruled out at this moment though a final decision on whether to reinstate the excise duty exemption will take time.” While the decision is jointly taken by the Ministry of Petroleum and Ministry of Finance, it is generally preceded by the recommendations from the Ministry of Consumer Affairs. An email query sent to Hasmukh Adhiya, Revenue Secretary, Ministry of Finance was not answered till the time of going to the press. The government had waived the 12.5 per cent excise duty for a contractual period from December 2015 to November 2016 to encourage ethanol blending. However, it was rolled back in August this year seeing improved liquidity position of the sugar millers. T. Sarita Reddy, vice-president, ISMA and managing director of Hyderabad-based Gayatri
