India rules out parallel petrol supply system alongside E20 fuel rollout
The Indian government has stated it will not be feasible to maintain a parallel fuel supply system offering pure petrol or lower ethanol blends alongside E20 fuel. Officials indicated that running multiple fuel options simultaneously would create significant logistical and infrastructural challenges. The government is pushing ahead with its E20 mandate, which requires petrol blended with 20% ethanol, as part of its broader clean energy and energy security goals. This decision means consumers and vehicle owners will eventually have access only to E20 fuel at pumps once the transition is complete. The move is expected to impact older vehicles not fully compatible with higher ethanol blends, raising concerns among some consumer and automotive groups.
