Punjab Assembly passes resolution against Centre's E20 ethanol fuel policy
The Punjab Legislative Assembly passed a resolution opposing the central government's E20 fuel policy, which mandates a higher ethanol blend in petrol. Lawmakers raised concerns that the increased ethanol content could cause damage to existing vehicles on the road. The state questioned the rapid pace of the policy rollout and alleged that external pressure, including from the United States, may have influenced the Centre's decision. The Aam Aadmi Party has taken its opposition to the policy beyond Punjab, launching a nationwide campaign against it. The party is demanding that consumers be given a choice between blended and unblended fuel, along with lower prices for the ethanol-blended variant.
