Nationwide Concerns Over Ethanol Fuel in India

Vehicle owners across the country are expressing concern over ethanol-blended petrol, claiming that E20 fuel has reduced mileage and caused performance issues in their vehicles. Many allege that the government’s fuel policy is affecting millions of motorists.

Public anger is also growing over proposals to introduce higher ethanol blends like E22, E25, E27, E30, and even E100. Citizens argue that such fuels are suitable only for vehicles manufactured after April 2023, raising serious concerns about the impact on older vehicles and overall usability.
