Ethanol-blended petrol rollout: Govt says 'no assessment done' on number of E20-compatible vehicles
India's government has not assessed how many vehicles are fully compatible with E20 fuel.
The ethanol blending programme is backed by scientific studies and consultations with manufacturers and technical institutions.
Studies by ARAI, SIAM, and others confirmed E20 fuel is safe for vehicle use under prescribed standards.
Legacy vehicles showed no significant performance variation or abnormal wear on E20 fuel.
Vehicle manufacturers continue to honor warranty obligations for vehicles using E20 fuel.
