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

With a lot of respect my reply on behalf of TEAM BHARAT to shri Sajjan Jindal ji on his x posts regarding Ethanol 20 Petrol. Sir, firstly thank you for your services & the jobs you create. We value that! *We are not against E20 Petrol, what we want is E-10 Petrol for E10-compatible vehicles. These constitute 80-90% of the vehicles on Indian roads today. *Let the government introduce E25, E30, E100, E200 or flying buses of they can, please first make the 360° infrastructure for the same. *As so far as Forex is concerned, by giving E-10, we would reduce Ethanol consumption for vehicles & can use the same for industries like yours (industrial Ethanol and save foreign reserves that we use importing Ethanol from the US. *Corn that has been diverted towards Ethanol means, we now have to import DDGS a by-product of corn, which we would earlier export and earn foreign currency! Again thank you for creating jobs. Team Bharat is pro INDIA and job makers ! Jai Hind Jai Bharat Tehseen Poonawalla Team Bharat

THE BETA BADHAO YOJNA SCAM! When TEAM BHARAT exposes Shri Nitin Gadkari ji sir’s absolute conflict of interest on the ethanol policy we put data ; so here are the cold, undeniable numbers: 🌾 Government procured rice at ₹3,889.46 per quintal. 🏭 Then quietly handed over 6.35 million tonnes to private ethanol distilleries at ₹2,250–₹2,320 per quintal : a deliberate 40% damn discount. 📉 Total taxpayer loss: ₹10,101.29 CRORE. (Procurement cost: ₹24,698.07 Cr vs sale revenue: ₹14,596.78 Cr) Now ask yourself the questions that refuse to die: * If there was truly excess rice, why was it not exported to build India’s foreign exchange reserves? * Why was it not released into the open market so food prices could fall and food inflation could ease for the common citizen? * Why are “We The People” forced to subsidise private ethanol distilleries : only to then pay higher fuel prices at the pump every single day? The conflict is crystal clear: Shri Nitin Gadkari ji sir’s ministry has a decisive say in India’s ethanol policy. This is an absolutely shameless systematic transfer of public money into private hands while the ordinary Indian pays twice once through taxes to procure rice and again at the fuel station for the Ethanol blended Petrol!!

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 | 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."

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."

EXCLUSIVE & AN OPEN CHALLENGE TO THE HON'BLE MINISTER Shri Nitin Gadkari ji Dear Hon'ble Union Minister Shri Nitin Gadkari ji, Information from Team Bharat confirms you are in Pune this Saturday (18th July). On behalf of the Citizens of India, I am officially and respectfully requesting you to a LIVE, PUBLIC DEBATE with me on the Ethanol 20 (E20) blending policy. Let us put all facts on the table before the citizens of this great country! Here are my stakes: 1️⃣ Sir, if you defeat me in this debate, I will PUBLICLY APOLOGIZE to you on all forums. 2️⃣ I will permanently TAKE DOWN.all my anti-E20 posts. 3️⃣ I will NEVER bring up the issue of Ethanol ever again. We will also address the elephant in the room, sir. There is a massive, undeniable CONFLICT OF INTEREST with both your sons being involved in the Ethanol business. Whenever you are asked about this, you issue threats of action. In a robust democracy, citizens deserve answers not threats. Sir, Let us look at the facts: The last time you challenged us to produce even "one evidence of damage" to E10-compatible vehicles due to mandatory E20 blending, Team Bharat stepped up. We took the challenge. But instead of a debate, we were detained by the Delhi Police at the Tughlak Road Police Station. This is not how a democracy functions, Shri Nitin_gadkari ji. I urge you to accept my humble request. Let us strengthen our democratic fabric through open dialogue. If I am proven wrong, I will back down forever. The ball is in your court, Sir. I await your response. TEHSEEN POONAWALLA TEAM BHARAT To, Shri Nitin Gadkari ji.

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.

I just received a call from Delhi Police and they have said not to go tomorrow to the residence of Hon'ble Transport & Highway minster shri Nitin Gadkari ji! But Nitin sir, you gave us a challenge to to get people affected whose vehicles are affected by E20Fuel! Sir you please give us an appointment!! Secondly sir: yesterday you said your son's Ethanol business is just 0.07%, this sir is roughly about ₹50-₹100 crores a year! How many INDIANS earn that kind of money? Sir with humility, this is BETA BADHAO YOJANA & a conflict of interest. Sir we await your revert! Tehseen Poonawalla Team Bharat

✅ 1 litre of ethanol can create around 8 to 15 litres of spent wash, a dark and highly polluting wastewater from distilleries. ✅ Even when factories claim Zero Liquid Discharge, the question remains: what happens to sludge, ash, concentrated waste, boiler emissions and groundwater impact? ✅ India is moving from around 1,000 crore litres of ethanol demand towards nearly 1,500 crore litres of production capacity, but are our pollution-control systems ready for that scale? ✅ The Meghalaya Byrnihat case raises a serious question because this area is already known as a major pollution hotspot, yet more industrial load is being added. ✅ Ethanol may reduce oil imports and some emissions, but if production pollutes water, air and soil, then we are only shifting pollution from cities to industrial towns and villages. ✅ India needs energy security, but not at the cost of water security, clean air and public health. ✅ The real future should be balanced: ethanol as a transition fuel, but stronger focus on EVs, green hydrogen, renewable energy and cleaner public transport. Clean fuel must also mean clean production

#WATCH | Nagpur, Maharashtra: Union Minister Nitin Gadkari says, “Last night at 8 PM, I signed the file, finalising the regulations to legally authorise the use of 100% ethanol. I am delighted to share that I, along with Hardeep Singh Puri, had the opportunity to launch the 100% ethanol-compatible version of the WagonR—Maruti Suzuki’s best-selling car. Regarding motorcycles, Hero MotoCorp—which accounts for three out of every five motorcycles sold—has launched two flex-fuel models capable of running on 100% ethanol. Following this, companies like Toyota, Suzuki, MG, and Hyundai will launch 100% ethanol-compatible vehicles within the next month and a half. Thus, ethanol will serve as a viable alternative to petrol. People used to laugh when I spoke of this dream, and some friends even criticised it...Soon, we will launch a pilot project in Nagpur featuring a hydrogen pump and two hydrogen-powered buses. The public will be able to ride these hydrogen buses, which will be powered by green hydrogen extracted from water using an electrolyser. That day is now near.”

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.
