Ever wondered why ethanol became a talking point only recently, when ethanol-blended petrol has already been used across India for years? If vehicles have been running on blended fuel for over two years, what changed in June that suddenly put ethanol at the centre of public debate? In this...

'If Ethanol Costs More Than Petrol...': Tehseen Poonawalla Targets Modi Govt Over E20 Policy Political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla has criticised the Modi government over its ethanol blending policy, citing a written reply by the Union Government in Parliament. He claimed the reply confirms that ethanol costs more per litre than petrol, questioning why costlier ethanol is being blended with petrol if the stated objective is to reduce costs. Poonawalla also alleged that sugarcane farmers receive limited financial benefit, while ethanol distilleries are the primary beneficiaries of the policy. He further questioned the government's claim that ethanol blending helps conserve foreign exchange, alleging that India imports industrial ethanol from the United States despite having domestic production capacity. Describing the policy as an "ethanol scam", he demanded answers on who benefits from the current ethanol blending system. #tehseenpoonawalla #ethanol #petrolprice #modigovernment #fuelprices #parliament #sugarcane Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳

The irony is hard to miss. The Congress-led UPA government had fixed the price for oil companies to procure ethanol for blending with petrol at ₹27 per litre in 2010, years before the BJP came to power. The decision was part of the Ethanol Blended Petrol programme. Ethanol blending was clearly a “dream” of the UPA. The problem? Like so many of their other “dreams”, they implemented very little. Now, after the Modi government has actually taken ethanol blending from a policy aspiration to a nationwide reality, they want to claim credit and blame the BJP for a policy they themselves initiated. You cannot have it both ways.

#WATCH | The Petroleum Dealers Association has urged the Centre to reconsider the rollout of E20 (20% ethanol-blended petrol), claiming the fuel is causing operational and customer-related challenges at fuel stations. Association President Sasanka Sekhar Sahu said many vehicles on Indian roads, including several BS6 models, were not originally designed for a 20% ethanol blend. He alleged that the fuel has led to complaints of clogged carburettors and other mechanical issues, with frustrated customers often confronting petrol pump owners despite dealers having no role in fuel policy. The Centre has been pushing the adoption of E20 fuel as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower emissions and boost ethanol production. However, dealers have now called for a review of the policy, arguing that vehicle compatibility concerns need to be addressed. #E20 #Petrol #Fuel #Ethanol #Automobile #BS6 #India #BreakingNews #Moneycontrol

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

#WATCH | "This ethanol blending in petrol has been not done overnight. It is a measured, scientifically driven, step-by-step process. In 2013 and 2014, we were blending about one and a half percent ethanol in gasoline. And this programme was targeted to have 20% blending, which is E20, completed in December 25, five years ahead of the target. This programme, the ethanol blending programme, particularly in 2018, was in a structured manner, put out for discussion and deliberation by all stakeholders. It is supported by scientific evidence, extensive testing by the automotive, manufacturers and the agencies who support them, namely the Automotive Research Association of India, ARAI and SIAM, and also it is in line with the global best practices which is followed to green the fossil fuels to lower the carbon emissions," says expert Vartika Shukla at the press conference by industry experts on ethanol.

I used to admire Nitin Gadkari’s work a lot, but his relentless push for ethanol over the past few months is getting out of hand. Back in 2003 and 2006, the roadmap was clear and calculated, a steady 5% ethanol blending across states when vehicles were properly E5 compliant. That's how policy implementation should look. Instead, we're seeing an aggressive all-India push for E20, and now he is actively pushing for E85 and E100. What’s even more baffling is his response when asked why India isn't adopting a true choice-based model like Brazil. He completely passed the buck, stating that providing fuel options is Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri’s job, while simultaneously boasting that flex-fuel vehicles will give consumers the ultimate choice between ₹70/L ethanol and ₹120/L petrol. Btw he promised ₹15/L ethanol blended petrol back in 2023. If the fundamental policy decisions and market readiness fall under a different ministry, why force a aggressive narrative onto the automotive sector before the infrastructure or consumer choice is genuinely ready?

Did a simple ethanol check myself yesterday! Watch it till the end! Took 170 mL of E20 petrol, added 20 mL of water, shook it well, and after the layers separated, the water/ethanol layer measured 40 mL. That suggests roughly 20 mL of ethanol in 170 mL of fuel around 11.8% ethanol (roughly E12), not E20. If my calculations are correct, then I have a genuine question: has the ethanol content quietly been reduced from E20 to E12 temporarily because of a widespread backlash? or is there another explanation for these results? Either way, this also shows how readily ethanol attracts water and what moisture inside a fuel tank can potentially do over time. Happy to be corrected if my calculations or the test method are wrong!! ☺️

👉My question to the Transport Minister is regarding ethanol blending. Earlier, the blending level of ethanol was 10%, and recently it was increased to 20%. ❓Has the government conducted any scientific studies or consulted research associations, such as the one in Pune, before increasing the blending percentage? 👉Another concern is that customers are not aware of ethanol blending in petrol, and retail shops are not displaying any details about it. It is reported that many retail shops are blending ethanol more than 20%, which may affect the mechanical side of vehicles. ❓I also have a question for the Petroleum and Natural Gas Minister. Given the current excess ethanol production in the country, are there plans to explore alternative uses for it? : Benny Behanan ji in Lok Sabha

If you want to experiment further, then make a provision that for those who use normal petrol, it will be normal petrol and for those who use E20, it will be E-E20. And thirdly, you should look at the price, look at the price of petrol, 20% ethanol is mixed in it. Has the price of petrol reduced after this?..."
