Modern grain-based (rice/maize) plants are less polluting than sugarcane-based ones. They have mandatory ZLD (Zero Liquid Discharge) technology, which ensures no wastewater discharge and 95-99% of the water is recycled. By 2024-25, more than 60% of India's ethanol will come from grain because they use less water (2570 liters/liter of ethanol) and are better for the environment.

Despite distancing itself from pro-Hidma sloganeering, Scientists For Society’s digital footprint shows consistent pro-Naxal sympathy, Palestine activism and Hindu-targeting posts, contradicting its attempt to appear neutral after violence.
