India’s rapidly growing automobile industry has intensified the need for sustainable fuel alternatives to reduce dependency on imported fossil fuels and mitigate greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions. This study examines potential of second-generation biorefineries as a comprehensive solution efficient biomass valorization in India. With projected bioethanol demand 10,160 million liters by 2025 20% ethanol blending target, there is an urgent develop production pathways. The biorefinery approach enables simultaneous multiple valuable products, including bioethanol, biochemicals, bioproducts, from same feedstock, thereby enhancing economic viability through additional revenue streams while minimizing waste. paper systematically analyzes available resources across India, evaluates integrated conversion technologies (biochemical, thermochemical, synergistic approaches), current policy frameworks supporting implementation. Our findings reveal that can significantly contribute reducing GHG emissions up 2.7% gross domestic product (GDP) 2030 creating rural employment opportunities strengthening energy security. However, challenges supply chain logistics, technological optimization, harmonization continue hinder large-scale commercialization. concludes proposing strategic interventions overcome these barriers accelerate transition toward circular bioeconomy
