Sugarcane sector which is mostly present in co-operative sector which finds difficulty in raising investment for ethanol production . Further fluctuation in sugar price also affects production. Bioethanol is also inflammable which brings risk and increases safety measures and costs.

Most commuter vehicles are yet to be ready for bio-fuels, where efforts to be multiplied to bring them for effective take off for bio fuels.
