The Centre has informed the Rajya Sabha that studies show E20 fuel does not significantly affect the performance or durability of legacy vehicles. The govt says no issues have been reported in parameters such as drivability, startability, metal compatibility, and plastic compatibility. However, in BS3 vehicles introduced from April... show more

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, "In the previous few days, we have heard that there are some doubts on the usage of ethanol in cars. India mandated E20 from 2023 for material compliance, and before that it was E10. After 2023, both the cars and the fuel are mandated for E20. The cause of concern is what happens if E20 fuel is used in cars that have been manufactured and sold before 2023, which were primarily designed for E10?... We have sufficient factors of safety that ensure there is no problem in terms of wear and tear, corrosion, or damage to the life of the car or the parts that come in contact with the E20 fuel if E20 is used on cars that were produced and sold in India before 2023. As a manufacturer, we have tested E10 cars, which were prevalent before 2023, on E20 fuel for all parameters, and we have not found anything of concern..."

#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

#WATCH | Bhubaneswar, Odisha: On concerns over ethanol-blended petrol, General Secretary, Utkal Petroleum Dealers’ Association, Sanjay Lath says, "... E20 fuel began to be supplied fully from October–November 2025, and from 1 April 2026 the government made it mandatory for private players and all oil companies to sell only E20. Since the notification, some people have raised psychological concerns, often posting on social media without evidence. At our own petrol pumps, none of the customers’ vehicles has shown any problems with E20. Those posting online also have no proof that E20 damages engines. Yes, three institutions produced reports on the long-term effects of E20, suggesting that older vehicles might experience problems, particularly on rubber parts. But there is no such proof of damage as of now." (04.07)

#WATCH | Delhi: On ethanol, Vikram Gulati, Country Head and Executive Vice President (Corporate Affairs and Governance) of Toyota Kirloskar Motor, says, "Every vehicle sold in the country after 2023 is E20-compliant. Even vehicles from before 2023 can run on E20 without any problem. As I mentioned, studies show a slight drop in mileage—around 4-5%. This does happen. The reason is that ethanol has lower energy content; hence, mileage decreases by about 4 to 5% with E20. In fact, performance actually improves because the vehicle's acceleration gets better. Ethanol has a significantly higher octane number. You might even be surprised to learn that pure ethanol is used in Formula 1 racing. So, you cannot say that performance suffers; in reality, performance—in terms of acceleration, torque, and so on—actually improves..."

Arvind Kejriwal has done it again. In his eagerness to spread misinformation, he claimed that E20 is both a petrol blend and a diesel blend. It isn’t. E20 refers exclusively to petrol blended with 20% ethanol. Diesel has no such E20 blend. Anyone claiming otherwise is either astonishingly ignorant or deliberately misleading people. Now to the facts that propaganda conveniently ignores: 1. The “massive mileage loss” claim is false. There is no scientific evidence, extensive vehicle testing or real-world data supporting the claim that E20 causes a drastic drop in mileage. 2. Why ethanol is used Ethanol has several advantages: • Higher octane rating (~108.5 vs petrol’s ~84.4) • Better combustion • Reduced hydrocarbons, carbon monoxide and particulate emissions • Lower lifecycle carbon emissions by around 40% • Better anti-knock performance • Lower intake temperatures due to its higher heat of vaporization 3. Better performance, cleaner fuel Vehicles designed for E20 benefit from: • Better acceleration and pickup • Improved ride quality • Superior anti-knock characteristics • Cleaner combustion • Negligible particulate emissions 4. What about mileage? Yes, ethanol has a lower calorific value than petrol. But modern engines are calibrated to take advantage of ethanol’s high octane rating, improving thermal efficiency and offsetting much of the potential loss. The result? • E10-designed vehicles calibrated for E20 typically see only about 1–2% reduction in fuel economy. • Others may experience around 3–6%, depending on engine design. That is a far cry from the alarmist claims being circulated. 5. Mileage depends on much more than fuel Fuel economy is influenced by: • Driving habits • Tyre pressure • Wheel alignment • Traffic conditions • Air-conditioning usage • Engine maintenance • Air filter condition • Proper gear selection In day-to-day driving, these factors often have a much greater impact than the marginal difference attributable to E20. 6. E20 wasn’t introduced overnight The transition followed extensive testing with SIAM and leading automobile manufacturers. Manufacturers have produced E20-compatible vehicles for years, with dedicated E20-compliant models rolling out from April 2023. 7. Real-world evidence matters E19/E20 petrol has been used across India for over 2½ years. During this period: • More than 20 crore two-wheelers • More than 3 crore petrol cars have operated on these fuels without any widespread reports of engine failures or abnormal mileage loss attributable to E20. Manufacturers have continued to honour warranties. 8. Automobile manufacturers have spoken Toyota Kirloskar says ethanol is a globally proven high-performance fuel and India’s transition followed rigorous international testing. Maruti Suzuki confirms there is no field evidence of corrosion, abnormal wear or reduced component life due to E20. It notes that while mileage may reduce by about 3–3.5% because of ethanol’s lower calorific value, the difference is offset by better acceleration, improved anti-knock performance and significantly lower emissions. Hero MotoCorp says its nationwide service data shows no evidence of increased damage or wear and tear in vehicles running on E20. The bottom line: The claim that E20 causes a drastic reduction in mileage simply does not stand up to science, engineering or real-world experience. And here’s the obvious question: are people really expected to believe that millions of motorists have been meticulously recording and remembering the exact mileage their vehicles delivered over two-and-a-half years ago, only to suddenly conclude that today’s fuel economy is because of E20? India’s transition to E20 is based on science, extensive testing and environmental responsibility—not WhatsApp forwards and political misinformation. Before lecturing the country on fuel policy, Arvind Kejriwal should at least learn the difference between petrol and diesel.

👉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

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 | 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..."

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."

IMMEDIATE PRESS RELEASE (VIDEO) Media is Free to use this video as TEAM BHARAT's PRESS RELEASE! * The Raipur Consumer Court has held that E-20 blended fuel was responsible for the damage to a Vehicle Manufactured in 2023. *This has been the position of TEAM BHARAT, that over 80% of vehicles on Indian roads today are pre 2023 & E10-compatible hence E10 blended petrol must be available. TEAM BHARAT therefore demands data be put out : in the past one year since the introduction of mandatory E20 blended Petrol: 1) how many vehicles have faced issues: due to adulterated fuel, or how many fuel pumps, injectors, gaskets, engines have been repaired by vehicle companies? 2) Make E10 Petrol available for E10 compliant vehicles. We also have a solution regarding saving our foreign reserves & currency: If E10 blended petrol is made available, the Ethanol INDIA saves, can be used in industry, thus saving foreign reserves on importing Industrial Ethanol from USA.

TEAM BHARAT therefore demands data be put out : in the past one year since the introduction of mandatory E20 blended Petrol: 1) how many vehicles have faced issues: due to adulterated fuel, or how many fuel pumps, injectors, gaskets, engines have been repaired by vehicle companies? 2) Make E10 Petrol available for E10 compliant vehicles. We also have a solution regarding saving our foreign reserves & currency: If E10 blended petrol is made available, the Ethanol INDIA saves, can be used in industry, thus saving foreign reserves on importing Industrial Ethanol from USA.

#WATCH | Pune, Maharashtra: On E20 fuel blending, Director, Automotive Research Association of India (ARAI) Dr Reji Mathai says, "... India didn't move very abruptly. Initially, there were studies done. Again, studies were done on E20 with the E10 fleet at that point in time. It was done and seen that there was no impact. In 2022 to 2024, again studies were done. So whenever we move, there is a systematic evaluation with stakeholders involved. It's not just ARAI as an organization does that. The participation of multiple vehicle manufacturers also comes into play. And this evaluation spans almost six to eight months, maybe one year, on different vehicles and different types of engines..."

#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..."
