E20 Fuel Mandate: Indian Consumer Voices Concerns

India’s ambitious plan to achieve a 20% ethanol blend in petrol (E20) by 2025-26 has sparked debate, with one consumer publicly expressing significant reservations.

Performance and Choice Under Scrutiny

The consumer’s primary concern revolves around the potential impact of E20 fuel on vehicle performance. Many older vehicles aren’t designed for such a high ethanol blend, potentially leading to reduced efficiency or even damage. The consumer also questioned the lack of choice for drivers who might prefer petrol with a lower ethanol content or none at all.
