Delhi transport bodies plan a protest march to Parliament on August 4 against E20 fuel (20% ethanol, 80% petrol), demanding its withdrawal.
The protest is led by the Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters and Tour Operators Association and supported by All India Motor Transport Congress.
Protesters cite vehicle problems including reduced mileage and possible engine wear caused by ethanol blending.
The government defends E20 as safe, cleaner, and beneficial for farmers, ruling out immediate increases beyond 20%.
Organizers distance the march from the online 'E-20 Janta Party' and insist it is non-political.
