Arvind Kejriwal now finds himself at odds with the very farmers of Punjab he claims to represent. On one hand, he opposes E20 fuel. On the other, farmers in AAP-ruled Punjab are supporting ethanol because it creates value from surplus and otherwise wasted grains, opening up an additional source of income. If ethanol is helping farmers earn more while strengthening India’s energy security and reducing dependence on imported crude, why is Kejriwal opposing a policy that benefits both agriculture and the nation? He should decide whether he stands with political opportunism or with Punjab’s farmers.

Breaking news! Hindustan Unilever announces to cut palm oil by 25% in all their soaps! Until 1990, India was the world’s self-sufficient in edible oils. But in the last 30-35 years, India has now unfortunately become the world’s biggest palm oil importers. India imports 50,000 crores worth of palm oil every year! It is heartening to see Hindustan Unilever reduce palm oil as it can put pressure on other soap companies to reduce palm oil as well! This can potentially help reduce India’s import pressures as well! Let’s keep fighting and make India transition from “mindless capitalism” to “conscious capitalism”!

At BPCL, we believe that informed choices begin with facts. In this video, Indian Chess Grandmaster M. R. Venkatesh shares his perspective on E20 petrol. According to him, the belief that ethanol-blended petrol damages vehicles is a misconception. He encourages everyone to verify the facts before believing rumours and highlights that E20 is a cleaner fuel that reduces dependence on imported crude oil while supporting India's farmers. #BPCL #E20 #EthanolBlendedPetrol #Biofuels #EnergyTransition #CleanerEnergy #ShapingTheFuture Hardeep Singh Puri Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG @Secretary_MoPNG

Palm oil is quietly replacing dairy fat in chocolate, biscuits, and processed dairy products across the UK — while British milk production sits at a surplus and some farmers are pouring milk away.

PALM OIL IS IN EVERYTHING! From your biscuits, chips, noodles, ice creams, bread to even toothpaste and lipstick! More than 50% of the heart attacks in India occur amongst those below 50 years of age. One of the reasons behind this is our high palm consumption. Till the early 1990s, India was self-sufficient in edible oils. But today, India is the world’s largest importer of palm oil in the world and we import around Rs. 50,000 crore of palm oil every year. Thankfully, there are 2 simple ways we can reduce palm oil usage which I have highlighted in this video. Let us join hands and reduce our palm oil usage which will help 1) reduce India’s import burden 2) improve our health 3) protect the environment! Please share!

Claims that India's ethanol blending programme is causing a food crisis don't match the facts. India has reached around 20% ethanol blending while maintaining record foodgrain production. Ethanol is produced from surplus sugarcane, damaged food grains, maize, and other approved feedstocks. The programme has reduced crude oil imports, saved foreign exchange, increased farmers' incomes, and lowered emissions. Even as many Punjab farmers have praised the benefits of maize cultivation and ethanol-linked demand, anti-ethanol narratives have grown louder ahead of elections. The contrast suggests politics may be shaping the debate more than farmers' experiences. India's ethanol mission is strengthening farmers, energy security, and self-reliance.

#WATCH | Thiruvanathapuram, Kerala: On US waiver to buy Russian oil, Congress Leader Sachin Pilot says, "... In the last 75 years, no matter who has been in power in New Delhi, India, as a sovereign state has always maintained a very clear, non‑partisan position in the world. Our energy security and our economic security are sacrosanct. This time, for the first time, the U.S. government is mandating to India what it can and cannot buy—who to buy oil from and who not to buy oil from. They have given us a 30‑day window to purchase some Russian oil, and it sounds like a favour. But I believe two partners should never do favours for each other. There should have been a mutual agreement. Unfortunately, the interests of cotton farmers, soybean farmers, and corn farmers have been compromised..."

Kudos to the leadership and management of Benso Oil Palm Plantation. The plantation’s model of collaboration between private investors and smallholder farmers offers a clear pathway for sustainable job creation and rural transformation. Indeed, BOPP is a shining example of what we can achieve when we channel patient capital into high-value crops like oil palm. It strengthens our resolve as a government to scale up investment in the sector under our forthcoming Oil Palm Plantation Policy.

Alberta Premier Danielle Smith: "Alberta happens to have one of the largest deposits of oil and natural gas on the planet. It is significantly larger and far more accessible than the quickly declining oil and gas reserves located in the United States." "Whether the US President wishes to admit it or not, the United States not only needs our oil and gas today, they are also going to need it more and more with each passing year once they notice their declining domestic reserves and production are wholly insufficient."

Ethanol-Blended Petrol is in the interest of the Indian middle class! Ethanol-Blended Petrol improves vehicle acceleration! Ethanol-Blended Petrol has helped Indian farmers earn over ₹1.90 lakh crore! More than 20 crore two-wheelers and over 20 lakh four-wheelers are already running on Ethanol-Blended Petrol. Those who do not want to reduce India’s oil import bill are opposing Ethanol-Blended Petrol!
