Due to increasing demand, the biggest increase was seen in sowing of crops of the current Kharif season. Maize area increased in all states and according to government data, till 28.08.25, sowing reached 94 lakh hectares after a huge increase of 9.3 lakh hectares compared to last year. This is the largest sowing of Kharif maize till date.

Production

There are clear indications of increased production due to large sowing. Although, the crop has been damaged due to rains in many states, but the sowing area has increased so much that it will not affect the total production.

Ethanol

Now the use of sugar and rice is also increasing for making ethanol, which was banned earlier. The use of maize in ethanol may decrease slightly this year. If the prices of ethanol produced from maize are increased, it will have the opposite effect, that is, the use of maize in ethanol will increase.

Animal feed

Look at the change of time, the maize which was earlier used in animal feed, is now being used to make fuel.
