Yesterday, Kejriwal claimed citing mechanics that E20 petrol damages engines and fuel injectors. Here's what an actual mechanic says: E20 does not damage the engine or fuel injectors. Research also says same that at most, in older vehicles that are not E20-compatible, it may accelerate the deterioration of older rubber hoses, seals, or some plastic fuel system components if they are made from materials that are not ethanol-resistant. That's it, rest all are rumours E20 does not damage the engine or injectors.

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Maruti Suzuki India Corporate Affairs Senior Executive Officer, Rahul Bharti says, "Regarding our E10-compliant cars—specifically those manufactured prior to 2023—we serviced approximately 1.5 crore such vehicles across the Maruti network during the 2025-26 financial year. Even though these cars were designed for E10 fuel rather than E20, we did not observe any issues when E20 fuel was used. There were no significant technical concerns linked to the use of E20 fuel... Fuel adulteration has existed in India for a long time; it remains an issue and is addressed on an ongoing basis. It has no connection to E20 fuel... Extensive in-house testing confirmed that there would be no negative impact..." (04.07)

Big breaking! Now vlogger Sourav Joshi BACKTRACKS on his claims that that the mileage of Mercedes-Benz SUVs had dropped significantly because of E20 petrol Now he says, it’s not petrol, it’s “engine issue” Sourav Joshi's Fresh Statement👇 "We visited the Mercedes service centre, and they found that there was an issue with the engine, which was causing the low mileage. I apologise for the misunderstanding regarding E20 petrol," He clarified that he never had the intention to spread incorrect information or hurt sentiments Looks like he developed cold feet after Toyota took action on Youtuber Manish Kashyap’s claim that E20 damaged his brand new Toyota Innova Hycross Now is anyone paying these big SM influencers to MANUFACTURE this controversy ? Are they just doing this to create sensation & get some views? Or was Saurav just trying to promote Electric Cars in a unique way ? Frankly, before this SM controversy, didn’t even know meri gadi main kaunsa petrol ja raha hain Both my pre-2023 cars are working just fine I fill petrol in reputed petrol pumps & get my cars serviced in authorised service centres Maruti Suzuki serviced 2.84 crore cars in FY 2025-26, of which 1.5 crore were older vehicles never certified for E20. No E20 related damage was found. If E20 genuinely damaged rubber hoses, fuel lines or engines, this would have shown up as a wave of warranty claims and complaints. That wave never happened. Since this is a very serious matter of national importance, I hope गृहमंत्री कार्यालय, HMO India looks after whether all this is part of toolkit or just to get publicity? Anyway, someone spreading such fake stories does a lot of harm to our Ethanol blending plans that affects our energy security

#WATCH | Delhi | AAP National Convenor Arvind Kejriwal says, "Today, I have written to 29 auto manufacturing companies. I sent separate letters to three companies—Maruti, Toyota, and Hero- which had stated in a government press conference that E-20 fuel will not cause any problem in older vehicles. I pointed out to these three companies specify in their owner's manuals that older vehicles should not use fuel with an ethanol content higher than E-10. So, I have asked them two questions: If the use of E-20 results in a mileage drop of more than five per cent or causes damage to any component, will compensation be provided? They should inform the public whether E20 can be used in automobiles made by them before 2023. If yes, then in case of mileage issues or damage to any component, will the company compensate for the loss?"

Most Indian vehicles aren’t even E20 compatible ..yet Nitin Gadkari ji is forcing 100% ethanol norms on us! We the people pay full price for our vehicles + we pay road taxes, insurance, tolls, GST on vehicles, parking, GST on spares, basically or lot of money for everything that one can think of! And yet in return we get Pathetic roads, mostly terrible infrastructure, traffic jams and now fuel that destroys the engines and kills mileage of our vehicles! Meanwhile we all know that most sugar mills owned by netas & their families and it is their linked companies that are minting crores from ethanol distilleries. Let's cut out the BS, this is a straight-up Ethanol Scam! And while we INDIANs have to pay a price & yet suffer, these netas profit and make money! Also say if one wants non blended fuel instead of this nonsensical E-20, E-30 or E-100 why can't we be given that? #EthanolScam #GadkariEthanol #MiddleClassLoot

I respect the brave journalist Manish Kasyap Son Of Bihar ji but before putting direct allegations can he prove what he is actually saying about a central minister Nitin Gadkari ji. I would sincerely request the concerned national authorities and the union minister himself to come up and clarify all things about the ethanol blended fuel and clear the confusion among the common man regarding the same. Bihar-based journalist Manish Kashyap ji has claimed that his new Toyota Innova HyCross (E20-compatible) developed a major fault after covering just around 12,000 km. He alleged that despite the vehicle being relatively new, Toyota refused to provide warranty support. Expressing his frustration, Kashyap also strongly criticized Union Minister Nitin Gadkari and the government’s ethanol-blended fuel policy. In a video, he alleged, “Nitin Gadkari has ruined the entire country just to benefit his son,” and further claimed, “He has damaged vehicles across the country because of his policies.” His remarks have sparked widespread discussion on social media, with many users debating the reliability of E20-compatible vehicles, the effectiveness of the ethanol fuel policy, and the responsibility of automobile manufacturers. As of now, these are allegations made by Manish Kashyap, and no official findings have established the claims !?

$India's mobility revolution has entered a new chapter. 🇮🇳 Today, along with Shri Nitin Gadkari Ji, we witnessed the launch of Hero MotoCorp's Splendor+ and HF Deluxe Flex Fuel motorcycles, capable of running on ethanol blends from E20 to E85. This is far more than the launch of a new vehicle. It is the convergence of India's energy security mission, our commitment to clean mobility, and our resolve to build an #AatmaNirbharBharat. Over 300 million two-wheelers ply on Indian roads today. Imagine the impact when even a fraction of them begin running on fuel produced from Indian farms rather than imported crude oil. A decade ago, ethanol blending in India stood at just 1.5%. Today, India has achieved 20% ethanol blending, one of the fastest energy transitions anywhere in the world. The benefits are immense. ✅ Reduced dependence on imported oil ✅ Lower foreign exchange outgo ✅ Cleaner transportation ✅ Additional income opportunities for our farmers Every litre of ethanol blended into fuel reduces India's import burden and strengthens our energy independence. Our farmers are no longer only Annadatas. They are increasingly becoming Urjadatas, contributing directly to India's energy future. The scale of this opportunity is extraordinary. Even if flex-fuel vehicles account for just 1% of annual petrol vehicle sales, they can generate demand for nearly 4 crore litres of ethanol every year, resulting in payments of around ₹266 crore to distilleries, savings of approximately ₹195 crore in foreign exchange, and direct economic benefits of nearly ₹160 crore flowing to our farmers. Having witnessed Brazil's successful flex-fuel journey firsthand, I have seen how transformative this technology can be for an entire nation. Today, India begins writing its own success story. A future where Indian vehicles are powered by Indian innovation, Indian farmers, and Indian energy. The road ahead is cleaner. The road ahead is greener. The road ahead is more self-reliant. And that journey has begun.$

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "...I think there is a lot of misunderstanding about the fuel. For example, if you look at it from the automotive sector, there is a lot of myth that if you use E20 blended fuel, vehicles will get damaged. It's a myth. It doesn't happen this way. There's a lot of myth about the amount of mileage loss or the fuel efficiency loss. Yes, there is some fuel efficiency loss, no doubt. But it is not so big as it is being made out to be...E85 and E100, that is, 85% ethanol and 100 % ethanol, are not meant for regular cars. It is meant for a different type of technology, which is called a flex fuel vehicle. This vehicle can take any mix of ethanol. So people need not worry. E20 is the standard fuel that will be available, and it is compatible with old vehicles and new vehicles. All vehicles sold after 1st of April 2023 are fully materially compliant with E20. And people need to be reassured that in 2021, before we went into E20, there was a very detailed scientific study done by the leading automobile testing agency in the country, which is ARAI (Automotive Research Association of India). It clearly established that the possible damage to cars and two wheelers which are old is not there. It's very insignificant. And it also established that the fuel efficiency loss is to the extent of 2 to 4 per cent, not significant." On ethanol, he says, "As per the latest statistics from the government, the program so far has helped save 1.9 trillion rupees. Out of that, 1,60,000 crores has gone to farmers. So in the case of India, it's not only helped us to in some way mitigate the energy crisis, but it's also helped us to help the farmers...The reason why not just India, but many other countries are doing it is for energy security, for the agrarian economy, as well as for fighting climate change and environmental purposes."

Mr Gadkari here’s the another example for you!! Sad to see a Defender being towed away! Having driven one, I can say these vehicles are extremely sensitive to fuel quality. Ethanol-blended fuel has only made things worse. Just like EVs suffer from poor charging infrastructure, premium fuel options like Speed and XP100 are almost non-existent in most hilly regions. Even before E20 fuel, Defenders would sometimes develop misfires and odd engine behavior on regular fuel; now the problem is even more noticeable. People spending ₹1.5 crore on a vehicle shouldn’t have to worry about whether the next fuel station will leave their car running properly or stranded on a flatbed. This is the result of poorly planned fuel policies introduced without ensuring proper infrastructure, fuel quality consistency, or real-world testing. Absolutely disappointing that a premium vehicle ends up being towed because the ecosystem around it isn’t ready! 😌

India is increasing ethanol blending in petrol from 20% to 30%. But what exactly does that mean for your car, fuel bills, and the environment? In this video, we break down what ethanol blending actually is, why governments across the world promote it, and how India’s E30 push could affect everyday drivers. While higher ethanol blends may help reduce oil imports, support farmers, and lower certain emissions, they could also lead to lower mileage, more frequent refuelling, and potential compatibility issues for older vehicles. The video also looks at the environmental concerns around large-scale ethanol production, including water usage and pressure on agricultural land. Note: In its May 15 notice, the Bureau of Indian Standards (BIS) established standards for E22, E25, E27, and E30 fuel blends. However, the Government of India has not yet announced a nationwide commercial rollout timeline or mandated E30 petrol at retail fuel stations. Keep watching DeKoder for more such explainers. #EthanolBlending #E30 #Petrol #India #FuelPrices #Cars #Climate #Biofuel #Explained #DeKoder

If someone is suggesting E25 (blend of 25% ethanol and 80% petrol), we have made it clear that we are conducting tests. Those tests will take time. Once the reports are available, we will evaluate them. Then we will discuss the findings with the stakeholders and the automobile manufacturers.

Tehseen Poonawalla is absolutely right & must be supported by everyone univocally on this issue. If you don’t support him, you risk your valuable vehicles which are at risk now. The forced E20 ethanol blending policy has become a textbook case of conflict of interest, lack of transparency, and disregard for the common citizen. How people of India are being treated as Guinea pigs for trials and how their only precious asset a 2,3 or 4 wheeler is risked is appalling, brazen and shames less and that to benefit Mr Gadkari’s son 😡 While Union Minister Nitin Gadkari aggressively pushes mandatory E20 — claiming it helps farmers and cuts imports — his own sons reportedly have direct business interests in ethanol distilleries that have seen massive revenue surges. Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri defends it by comparing our daily drivers to racing cars and downplays mileage drops, engine wear, and the complete absence of consumer choice. This is unacceptable. Citizens have every right to choose between E20 and regular petrol. Old cars, new cars, bikes — all are being forced into an untested rollout without proper public disclosure of ARAI reports or impact studies. When policy benefits connected businesses while harming vehicle owners and wallets, accountability must follow. Let’s take a note of the fact that ICICI Lombard has refused to settle claims for issues related to vehicle damages in this context. Tehseen’s demand is fully justified — Nitin Gadkari and Hardeep Singh Puri must be sacked, without further delay.

JAI HIND, JAI BHARAT! 🇮🇳 I Tehseen Poonawalla, on behalf of Team Bharat, am announcing a massive, uncompromising citizen's protest against the hasty implementation of the E20 (Ethanol 20%) Blending Policy. First of all, my deepest gratitude to every single citizen who supported us during the first phase of this protest. Your trust ensures that I am indebted to you for life. But the battle has just begun! Here are our 5 Non-Negotiable Demands regarding the E20 Policy: 1️⃣ Protect Older Vehicles: E10 petrol must be provided exclusively for cars manufactured before 2023 that are only E10 compatible. 2️⃣ Fair Pricing: Cut the price of E20 petrol by a straight 20%. Why should consumers pay full price for blended fuel? 3️⃣ Universal Availability of E0: Pure petrol (E0) must be available at every single petrol pump. Currently, it costs a exorbitant ₹165–₹170/litre. This must be slashed and made affordable! Remember, countries like Nepal (₹123/L), Bhutan (₹97/L), and Bangladesh (~₹112/L) buy petrol from India, yet they sell pure, ethanol-free petrol to their citizens far cheaper than we do! 4️⃣ Total Transparency: Publicize every single document, study, and agreement related to the Ethanol 20 blending policy immediately. 5️⃣ Compensation for Damage: Provide concrete solutions and compensation for vehicle owners facing massive engine issues and technical damage due to forced E20 fuel in pre-2023 cars. This fight will be fought ruthlessly across 3 Pillars: SADAK, SANSAD, aur SUPREME COURT! ✊ BUT LET ME MAKE THE RULES OF THIS PLATFORM ABSOLUTELY CLEAR: ❌ NO Politicians: No political leader from any party will be given a stage or space here. ❌ NO Chichoras, Flop Comedians, or Third grade wanna be actors: No 'panoutis' (jinxes) or opportunists will be allowed to revive their careers on our platform. ❌ NO Anti-Religious Abuse: Anyone who abuses Maryada Purushottam Bhagwan Ram or uses this stage for irrelevant agendas will be thrown out. ❌ NO Communal Hate: This stage will never be used to abuse Muslims or Hindus, nor will we tolerate divisive communal slogans. 🎯 This is a platform for EVERY INDIAN: Whether Brahmin or Dalit, man or woman, or third gender ! If you are a citizen harmed by Ethanol, this is your voice! NOW, LET'S TALK ABOUT THE ACCUSATIONS & THE CONFLICT OF INTEREST: Shri Nitin Gadkari ji is running a "Beta Bachao Yojana"! His family is deeply entrenched in companies like CIAN Agro Industries and MANAS. This is a blatant, textbook case of Conflict of Interest where the Minister formulating the Ethanol policy has family businesses directly benefiting from it! Threaten me all you want, Gadkari ji unlike other political leaders, Tehseen Poonawalla does NOT fear your threats and I WILL NOT APOLOGIZE. I stand firmly by my words! And as for Dharmendra Pradhan ji he is undisputedly the Worst Education Minister in Indian History. He is a pure 'Nepo Kid' who only holds a cabinet position because his late father was a Union Minister in Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji's cabinet. Look at his brilliant 'ideas' to stop paper leaks: using the Air Force to distribute exam papers and banning Telegram! Does Dharmendra Pradhan ji not realize that paper leaks easily happen over WhatsApp and Signal too? He has completely ruined the education system and HE MUST GO! While we demand that Nitin Gadkari, Hardeep Puri, and Dharmendra Pradhan must resign and go, let it be clear: our ultimate focus remains fixed on fixing the disastrous E20 policy. Join the movement.

THE E20 DEBATE: FACTS VS HYPOCRISY. HERE'S AN UNDENIABLE FACT: The E20 programme did not begin under the Modi government. Ethanol blending was approved years earlier, during the UPA. The difference is in execution. Blending remained stuck at roughly 1–1.5% for years before accelerating significantly under the NDA. So, let's first get the politics out of the way. If ethanol blending was acceptable in principle then, why is it suddenly portrayed as anti-people now? Now, let's look at the arguments being presented by critics: CRITICS ARGUMENT 1: E20 FUEL IS BEING PUSHED BY NDA TO KEEP SUGAR CANE FARMERS HAPPY. There's no doubt Ethanol is creating an additional income stream for sugarcane farmers. But governments have always handed out subsidies or incentives to farmers. + MSP exists for 23 crops. Sugar cane farmers get SAP or State Advised Price. + Fertiliser subsidies. + Cheap or free electricity. + Irrigation subsidies. + Procurement policies. If these benefits to farmers are accepted as legitimate public policy, why is E20 policy being targeted in isolation for market distortion? CRITICS ARGUMENT 2: ETHANOL PRODUCTION IS WATER CONSUMING. Yes, sugarcane consumes a great deal of water. But so do + Paddy cultivators. Just look at the tumbling water tables in Punjab, Haryana. + AI and data centers. + Semiconductor manufacturing. + Steel and cement production. The question is not whether something uses water, but whether the benefits justify the costs. Again why are critics holding E20 alone to a test that they don't set for others? CRITICS ARGUMENT 3: THE GOVERNMENT SHOULD NOT MAKE E20 MANDATORY. LEAVE IT TO CHOICE. We're in a democracy and choice matters. But governments routinely make decisions that we, the people have no choice but to accept. + Taxation rates + Emission norms. + Fuel quality standards. + Safety regulations. + Identity Proof. These are often choices imposed to achieve broader national goals. Shouldn't E20 should be judged in the same way? Here's how E20 usage serves NATIONAL INTEREST: + India imports 85–90% of its crude oil. E20 seeks to address that by replacing up to 20% of petrol volume with domestically produced ethanol, helping diversify the fuel mix and reducing import costs. + With E20 NDA estimates saving Rs 1 lakh crore in foreign-exchange. CRITICS ARGUMENT 4: COST OF CAR ENGINE WEAR AND TEAR, MILEAGE INEFFICIENCY OUTWEIGHS BENEFITS. It is true that Ethanol has about 34% less energy per litre than petrol. But because E20 contains only 20% ethanol, the overall energy content of the fuel falls by roughly 4%–7%. So at 5% a car that gives 20 km/L on pure petrol will give 19km/L. But usage also improves air quality. Which increases longevity in humans and lowers healthcare costs over time. That is s fair trade-off. CONCLUSION: Every policy is a trade off. E20 isn't perfect. But if agricultural subsidies, procurement, irrigation policy and fuel regulations are accepted as legitimate public policy, then judge ethanol using the same yardstick.

The BJP released a 2013 gazetted notification from the UPA era to shift blame for the current anger surrounding mandatory E20 fuel. The Government thinks we are fools : so let's cut through the diversion and look at the real facts: 1️⃣ The Truth: The policy was originally envisioned by Late PM Atal Bihari Vajpayee ji. The UPA then moved further on it, conducted trial runs & notified the policy in 2013. 2️⃣ The Real Protest: Nobody is opposing cleaner fuel like E5 or E10. What we oppose is MANDATORY E20 fuel when 80% to 90% of vehicles on Indian roads today are physically not E20 compliant. 3️⃣ The Rushed Timeline: Even the NITI Aayog report recommended a gradual target of 2030. Why did the current government aggressively prepone this rollout without protecting existing vehicle owners from engine damage and mileage drops? But here is the ultimate double standard: If the BJP wants to blame the UPA for "laying the foundation" of this policy to escape public anger, will they also give Congress credit for laying the foundations of all the successful systems and infrastructures we enjoy today? Or is credit only acknowledged when it’s convenient to hide a failure? If the UPA's framework was so bad, why did the BJP continue it for 12 years instead of scrapping it? So BJP needs to stop running back to the UPA era & end this nonsensical mandatory Ethanol 20 blending policy & give us We The People a choice of what fuel to choose !

Bengaluru is being strangled by a corrupt government that refuses to govern. The traffic crisis is worsening by the day, and the core reason is staring us in the face: the explosion of private vehicles. But instead of addressing this, the state government is fuelling it. Instead of building mass public transport, it has launched a war against it. At a time when every rupee of public money should be invested in making public transport more available, more affordable and more reliable, this government has done the opposite. It is punishing those who rely on public transport and actively incentivising more car and two-wheeler ownership. The state wants to spend ₹1 lakh crore to build 100 kilometres of new flyovers and 18 kilometres of tunnel roads - a gift wrapped package for the politician-contractor lobby. But here’s the punchline: more than 20 flyovers have been pending for close to eight years, lying incomplete across the city. Before even completing what it has already failed, the government wants to throw billions more at the same failure. This isn’t infrastructure building. This is an addiction to kickback-paying contracts. The ₹18,000 crore tunnel road is the peak of this madness — a vanity project that benefits only private cars while being a death sentence for the city’s public transport system. It will not serve the pedestrian, the cyclist, the commuter - it will serve only the cars, the SUVs. It won’t serve the common guy who uses the BMTC or the metro. While the government wants to build more roads, it is killing last mile connectivity. Carpooling, bike-sharing, and auto-sharing remain unsupported. It refuses to allow private players to run buses alongside BMTC, despite the overwhelming demand. Metro fares are being hiked unscientifically, pushing people away from mass transit instead of into it. Meanwhile, ridership in Metro is weakening. And the result? The roads are flooded with cars. A recent study by Bengaluru Traffic Police on Outer Ring Road found a 20% increase in vehicle numbers in just one year, resulting in a 125% increase in congestion. This is not sustainable. This will lead to a total collapse of the city. Every delay in Metro completion brings more cars onto the streets. Every step taken to weaken the bus system brings more two-wheelers into the chaos. Bengaluru already has more private vehicles than people. No other global city in our population bracket has done this because no other city has such a suicidal mobility policy. Let’s be clear: this government’s mobility policy is not citizen-centric. It is contractor-centric. It is not about moving people - it is about moving cars. This is a government in the grip of a politician-bureaucrat-contractor nexus, that would rather pour concrete than build a city that works. And who is paying the price? The nurse who takes the bus. The student who walks to the Metro. The delivery rider stuck in traffic. The poor and middle class of Bengaluru, who don’t own cars, but are cross-subsidising roads that are built exclusively for car owners. This is not just poor governance. It is structural injustice. This assault on Bengaluru must stop. Every rupee of public money must be redirected to public transport. That is the only globally proven solution to decongestion and cities with denser populations than ours have done it. What’s missing here is not technology or funds. What’s missing is political will. And that will won’t come from those in power. It must come from the people of Bengaluru. From those who are stuck in traffic and fed up of being lied to. From those who are tired of vanity projects and demand real mobility solutions. From a new generation of leadership that fights for commuters, not contractors. Bengaluru is choking. We can either demand change - or let this city be buried under its own traffic. Let’s tell loud and clear - Public Transport is our Fundamental Right. We need our government to provide it. My remarks at the World Symposium on Sustainability & Livability hosted by IISc Bangalore.

The fuel collapse in russia is now so complete that their refineries are deliberately dumping Euro-2 and Euro-3 gasoline on the domestic market. For anyone who missed chemistry class, that means sulfur content 15 to 50 times higher than the Euro-5 standard every modern engine is built for. This is not an accident. It is a conscious choice by russian companies to poison their own car fleet rather than admit the sanctions and our strikes have broken their supply chain. Mechanics in moscovia are already posting about the sudden rush of blown engines, catalytic converters melted from the inside, fuel pumps shredded. The "grateful" reviews from ordinary drivers are about to flood their own internet, and every one of them should be screenshotted and sent back to the kremlin with a simple caption: this is what your imperial war looks like when it reaches your garage. This is the same regime that tells its people they are winning while feeding them literal poison to keep the tanks rolling. Every extra ton of this garbage fuel burned in russia is another small proof that their economy is cannibalizing itself to sustain losses on Ukrainian soil. They cannot import enough high-quality components, they cannot refine what they pump, and instead of fixing the problem they simply lower the standard and hope the cars explode quietly. Meanwhile Ukraine keeps grinding their logistics, hitting refineries, storage tanks, and rail hubs with increasing precision. By the end of 2026 our mid-range strike capability will be two to five times what it is now. Their operational-level supply lines will be burning faster than they can rebuild them. No amount of diluted gasoline or desperate mobilization waves changes that math. Throwing more bodies at the front only accelerates the body count; even their own z-bloggers admit it changes nothing except the speed at which russian mothers bury their sons. This is not sustainable for them. It is not a sign of strength. It is the slow-motion collapse of a petro-state that chose empire over functioning society. Every driver whose engine dies because of this toxic sludge should understand exactly who sacrificed his car for putin's ego. The war does not stop because someone in Washington or Brussels whispers the word "negotiations." It stops when moscovia is militarily defeated, when its ability to project power is broken, when the imperial project itself is dismantled into something that can no longer threaten its neighbors. We told you this would happen. The fuel collapse was predictable. The engine failures were predictable. The kremlin's willingness to poison its own population to keep the meat grinder fed was the most predictable part of all. Keep striking. Keep isolating their economy. Keep exposing every lie they sell to their own people. The bill always comes due, and this time it is arriving in the form of ruined engines and furious drivers who finally cannot drive away from the truth.
