Delhi transport body announces Parliament march against E20 on August 4
Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transport and Tour Operators Association calls for Parliament protest march against E20 policy on August 4.
Association President Sanjay Samrat warns that E20 (20% ethanol blend) will damage vehicles, potentially turning lakhs of bikes, cars, and taxis into scrap.
Samrat criticizes Transport Minister Nitin Gadkari for ignoring industry concerns for over 10 years, citing financial and mental losses.
Motorists receive 20% ethanol blended as "sugarcane juice" for every ₹100 spent at petrol pumps, leading to feelings of being cheated.
The E20 policy mandates 20% ethanol blending in petrol, opposed by the association as harmful to existing vehicles running on CNG and petrol.
