The E20 debate needs facts, not manufactured outrage. Here are some undebatable facts : • Ethanol blending began in 2003-not under Gadkari • Gadkari family’s share is just 0.6% of production • The businesses are audited and listed. • It benefits farmers and the domestic economy • Ever 1%...

Blending started and blending percentage increase r different. If Gadkri had no vested interest, why was he vehemently supporting while petroleum minister himself remained silent?why r study reports not made public?

But now it resulted in sugar shortage and what amount of water is consumed in production of 1 litre of Ethanol. In the recent road trip i got good mileage too. But if my car breaks down will it be covered under insurance policy, @nitin_gadkari is tight-lipped on it.

Now an eco system started to defend an un justified ethanol push by their leader who irrelevant to the ministry. This eco system talks about sugar cane growers and savings and benefit of economy. But they don't speak about the problems of car owners of non compatible ethanol vehicles. There is no renowned automobile expert or manufacturer certificate or Government statement from the ministry in this regard other than Andhbhakts certificates. My points are: 1. Government can help sugar cane farmers so many ways but not at the cost of non compatible ethanol mixed petrol vehicle owners. 2. Why didn't government issue an official statement stating that no engine or mileage will affect by ethanol mixed petrol specifically. 3. Why the rate of ethanol mixed petrol is not reduced?

It's simple. His tall promises of reducing petrol prices to Rs 15 / litre . On top of that low milega, high running costs & maintenance.

Effect of E20 blending > Sugar prices increased by 40% > Vehicle mileage reduced by 25% > Engine damage and other problems increased by 35% > Gadkari's son wealth increased by 1000x > Ethanol imported from US worth unimaginable amounts Who benefitted by this 🤔

Just for clarification 0.6% of 20 Billion L. & Things doesn't stop at 20%, the family will fill your petrol car with 80-90% Sugarcane juice using same dialogue it's just 0.6% of production. Your mileage will be hardly 5kmpl, but don't cry you are contributing to Mr Gadbadi.

Add one more fact- As of June 2026,nearly 67% of India’s ethanol supply was sourced from GRAINS, compared to 33 %,derived from sugarcane-based feedstocks. Source-India's ethanol supply leans on grains as MAIZE leads the feedstock race

The unfortunate part is that neither Gadkari nor Hardeep puri have been engaging or convincing - they have been blustering Unless BJP / NDA gets its act right on this - the collective negativism brewing even with pro BJP handles is quite a sorry sight Clearly the SM narrative is doing its job Why can’t the PM / HM etc do fortnightly weekly or monthly address to counter fake news

E20 has been dragged into a storm of misinformation. Sugar in petrol? ❌ Engines getting destroyed? ❌ India losing out? ❌ The reality is very different: ethanol blending can reduce crude imports, conserve forex, support farmers and lower emissions. This is the vision of Nitin Gadkari Ji: a cleaner, more energy-secure and self-reliant India. 🇮🇳 Judge E20 by facts, not forwards.

Science has spoken. Propaganda has lost. An IIT Kanpur study has effectively put the E20 misinformation campaign & the hit jobs against Nitin Gadkari ji to rest. ✅ No significant engine damage : new or old vehicles. ✅ Fuel efficiency impact is under 5%, often comparable to regular petrol. ✅ Cleaner air, lower crude oil imports, and greater energy security. Those who peddled fear over E20 owe the public an explanation. Facts matter. Research matters. India's ethanol transition is backed by science, not social media hysteria.

Let's not fall for the fearmongering and look at facts instead🛑 E20 ethanol-blended petrol is NOT destroying your vehicle's engine, NOR is it filled with "sugarcane juice." The rumors are nothing but misinformation. Mechanics and daily commuters alike confirm that their vehicles are running perfectly fine on E20 without a single issue, just as they did with older fuels. India’s shift to ethanol blending is a powerful move for our economy, farmers, and the environment. Let's rely on facts and real experiences, not just social media panic. 🇮🇳

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.

Another manufactured narrative busted. The claim that GoI called the E20 programme an “ongoing experiment” in the Supreme Court is completely misleading. As Sushant Sinha explains clearly, the word “experiment” was not about the E20 policy. It referred only to the operational process of adjusting ethanol supply allocations as per market conditions. E20 is not a trial. It is a firm national policy. The SC matter was about streamlining and consolidating petitions so ethanol allocation across India remains smooth and uninterrupted. Facts matter. Headlines should not become propaganda.

Journalist: My car's mileage was 10 to 11 in city. After E20 petrol, the mileage has been reduced to 7. Nitin Gadkari: You can't calculate avg of your car by yourself. Only a machine can check your avg and only then I will believe that mileage of your car has reduced. I do understand that there are lots of misinformation and fake videos regarding E20 petrol. But Nitin Gadkari's stance that E20 Petrol is not affecting cars is absolutely laughable. Even if I assume that E20 Petrol is not harming E20 compliant cars but what about cars which are only E10 compliant. Nitin Gadkari has no idea about how much people are turning against him. The decision to rush E20 Petrol and impose it on everyone within such a short time is not looking good now.

Seen some wild claims about #E20 petrol on your feed lately? Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG has a clear message: Don't fall for the ragebait. ✳️Fuel-grade ethanol used for petrol blending is produced through fermentation and distillation processes that eliminate residual sugars from the final product. ✳️Further, fuel ethanol contains denaturants that are repellent to insects. There is no identifiable attractant associated with E20 fuel that would cause ants or other insects to congregate around vehicle fuel caps. ✳️Ethanol Blending Programme has helped save the country over ₹1.4 lakh crore in foreign exchange through reduced crude oil imports. The programme has also created sustained demand for agricultural feedstocks used in ethanol production, thereby supporting farmers' incomes and strengthening the rural economy.

VIDEO | Delhi: Addressing a press conference, AAP national convenor Arvind Kejriwal, says, "At today's town hall, people put forward three demands. First, consumers should have a choice at petrol pumps... those who want E20 fuel should be able to buy E20, while those who prefer pure petrol should have the option to purchase pure petrol. Second, the price of E20 fuel should be lower than that of pure petrol. Third, with global crude oil prices having declined, the retail price of petrol should be reduced to below Rs 84 per litre. If ethanol is not beneficial from any perspective, why is it being promoted? People are facing difficulties because of ethanol. It is more expensive than petrol, delivers lower mileage, does not benefit farmers, and does not save foreign exchange. Moreover, in areas surrounding ethanol production plants, groundwater reportedly becomes polluted. So why is the central government pushing ethanol across the country by presenting misleading figures and against the wishes of the people? Why is it forcing it upon citizens? What is the Modi government's compulsion or hidden agenda? After examining the issue, it is being done under pressure from America." #E20 #Ethanol #ArvindKejriwal (Full video available on PTI Videos -

If ethanol is not beneficial from any perspective, why is it being promoted? People are facing difficulties because of ethanol. It is more expensive than petrol, delivers lower mileage, does not benefit farmers, and does not save foreign exchange. Moreover, in areas surrounding ethanol production plants, groundwater reportedly becomes polluted. So why is the central government pushing ethanol across the country by presenting misleading figures and against the wishes of the people? Why is it forcing it upon citizens? What is the Modi government's compulsion or hidden agenda? After examining the issue, it is being done under pressure from America." #E20 #Ethanol #ArvindKejriwal (Full video available on PTI Videos -

The Union government and shri Nitin Gadkari ji are absolutely misleading us when they say that the Ethanol 20 blending policy will save lakhs of crores per year in forex reserves. Fact this number does not go above ₹43,000/ crore but no one is calculating the GM corn import cost & cost to food security with spike in prices of chicken and eggs. Join us 5th July at Jantar Mantar Delhi 2pm to peacefully protest against the #EthanolScam Dinesh Rattan Dhillon #TeamIndia #TeamBharat

𝐋𝐞𝐭 𝐓𝐡𝐚𝐭 𝐒𝐢𝐧𝐤 𝐈𝐧!! Shri Hardeep Puri ji sir and Shri Nitin Gadkari ji sir's supporters are standing by a car company not a common INDIAN whose car is ruined! Facts : *An honest INDIAN after paying his taxes, purchased his dream car. * He pays 15 years taxes in advance on the car. The car faces issues & so a consumer court rules that he should be given an E20 compatible car! * Maruti Suzuki says, the car was E20 compatible. Did they say the same in court? * Hence it is not the Ethanol 20 petrol but adulterated petrol that damaged his vehicle!! Seriously!! * So who is responsible for supplying clean Fuel? Does any of us get fuel from our father's house or does government supply fuel? * Supporters of Shri Hardeep Puri ji sir and Shri Nitin Gadkari ji sir are standing by the Car company not an ordinary INDIAN who may perhaps have even voted BJP!

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.

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."
