TEAM BHARAT has formally written to Hon'ble PM shri Narendra Modi ji, HM Amit Shah ji, and Hon'ble LoP Shri Rahul Gandhi ji. We are ordinary vehicle owners, taxpayers, and professionals who are raising a crucial issue: the implementation of the E20 (Ethanol 20%) Blended Fuel Policy. While we support energy self-reliance, including Ethanol 20 blended petrol we wish to put forward the silent struggles the the common citizen is facing. * we would like E10 blended petrol be available for E10-compatible vehicles until these vehicles phase out. * A drop in price of E0 (pure petrol) & a discount on E20 Fuel. * All documents wrt E20 policy in public domain. * No further higher blended petrol until a 360° infrastructure is ready in advance. * A solution for the genuine problems faced by vehicle owners whose vehicles are pre 2023! Team Bharat believes public policy must balance national objectives with consumer interests. We have requested an appointment with our leaders to constructively present the citizen data. Tehseen Poonawalla, TEAM BHARAT!

E20 Fuel Under Fire: Tehseen Poonawalla Demands Transparency, Attacks Nitin Gadkari Political analyst Tehseen Poonawalla has questioned the government's E20 fuel policy, while welcoming its reported decision not to introduce E25-blended fuel. He argued that the NITI Aayog had envisaged mandatory E20 rollout only by 2030 after adequate infrastructure was in place. Poonawalla demanded that all documents related to the E20 policy be made public and called for continued availability of E0 and E10 fuel, saying most vehicles on Indian roads are pre-2023 and E10-compliant. He also sought solutions for affected vehicle owners, questioned automakers' guidance on ethanol compatibility, alleged a conflict of interest involving Union Minister Nitin Gadkari's family, and warned of further protests if the concerns remain unresolved. #e20fuel #ethanol #fuelpolicy #automobile #nitigadkari #nitiaayog #carnews #bikenews #breakingnews #indianews Tehseen Poonawalla Official 🇮🇳

#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra: On E20 fuel mileage test, Director, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) Dr Reji Mathai says, "... The studies were done along with the OEMs (Original Equipment Manufacturer), the vehicle manufacturers who understand their vehicles very well, to assess the impact of E20 compared to E10. We understand that ethanol as a fuel has a slightly lower calorific value. So the blend also has a slightly lower calorific value. There is a controlled test being done for fuel consumption... When these tests are done in controlled conditions — chamber temperatures maintained, vehicles on rollers — we can precisely understand the impact due to the fuel. We studied varied vehicles, selected by OEMs along with us. Some were 10 years old, some around 8 years, and some 3 to 4 years old. These vehicles, when tested, showed a range of around 2 to 6% drop in fuel consumption..."

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 !

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

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. The people of India deserve transparency, choice, and ministers who put the nation before family business interests.

#WATCH | Delhi | Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri says, "...There are 20 crore two-wheelers on the road and 20 lakh four-wheelers using this fuel. The automobile manufacturers, as well as the people who service these vehicles, all say there is no difficulty. Why this sudden interest? We have been using E15 (blend of 15% ethanol and 80% petrol) for the last three and a half years. We have been on E20 (blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol) since April of last year. From April 2025 to April 2026, it has already been one year, and we are now another five months beyond that. 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. After all, I neither manufacture the cars nor the fuel. The car manufacturers are comfortable with E20. Each one of them has made a statement to that effect. Consumers also appreciate the product. We have only begun the rollout of E85 (blend of 85% ethanol and 15% petrol), and that rollout will take some time because new petrol pumps and related infrastructure need to be put in place..."

#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."

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.

𝐈 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥 𝐞𝐱𝐩𝐨𝐬𝐞 𝐭𝐡𝐞 #𝐄𝐭𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐨𝐥𝐒𝐜𝐚𝐦 𝐢𝐧 𝟐 𝐦𝐢𝐧𝐬. : If INDIA truly wants to cut fuel import bills by Rs 3 lakh crores, all we have to do is build decent roads, proper infrastructure & remove encroachments. But contractors pay netas their cut money & encroachers who cause traffic jams are vote banks of netas. We are told ethanol is “good for the environment” but to produce 1 litre of ethanol it takes 2500-3500 litres of water at sugar mills or above 10,000 litres per litre at rice mills! This when the country is facing water shortage. How is this good for anyone except the netas? Most ethanol distilleries are owned by netas, for example Nitin Gadkari ji’s son! And please tell me how is Gadkari ji announcing ethanol policy when he is neither the Petroleum Minister, nor Agriculture Minister, nor Industry Minister? We the people pay full price for our vehicles + road tax + insurance + tolls + GST on spares… and in return we get pathetic roads, terrible infrastructure & now forced ethanol-blended fuel that kills mileage & damages engines. Meanwhile netas with direct conflict of interest are minting crores & crores and the poor hardworking honest INDIAN suffers as most Indian vehicles aren’t even E20 compatible yet Nitin Gadkari ji is forcing these ethanol norms on us as if we are lab rats! #EthanolScam. #EthanolScam #GadkariEthanol #MiddleClassLoot

This is what happens when someone makes sweeping claims without looking at the complete evidence. At least do your homework before speaking with such confidence. Since you've raised these issues, let's examine the facts. You claimed that E20 reduces mileage by 15–20%. But your own calculation contradicts that claim. Ethanol contains roughly 33% less energy than petrol. Moving from E10 to E20 translates to an expected difference of about 3.3%, which is consistent with the government's estimates. So where did the 15–20% figure come from? There is no credible evidence supporting it. You also claimed that pre-2023 vehicles are facing a nationwide engine crisis because of E20. If that's true, where is the evidence? The transition to E20 did not happen overnight. It began gradually in 2021 before becoming the standard. More than 20 crore two-wheelers and over 20 lakh cars have been operating on progressively higher ethanol blends for years. If there were a widespread engine failure issue, it should be visible in large-scale service data and independent reporting. Then there's the forex argument. Here, you compared a one-year estimate with a cumulative figure covering multiple years. That is not a like-for-like comparison. The reported savings of approximately ₹1.90 lakh crore in foreign exchange and the replacement of 310 lakh tonnes of crude oil cover the period from 2014–15 to May 2026. Comparing that with a single year's data creates a misleading impression. Finally, you argued that older vehicles are increasing India's petrol consumption because of E20. But that conclusion depends on a mileage loss that isn't supported by the evidence you've cited. Meanwhile, data and statements from manufacturers and industry bodies indicate a different picture. So the real question is simple: Who should people rely on? The engineers, researchers, manufacturers, and testing agencies that have spent years evaluating these vehicles and fuels— Or claims that are not supported by comparable data and verifiable evidence? Before making alarming claims, it's worth ensuring that the facts actually support the conclusion. Arvind Kejriwal should note this.

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?
