- A big U-turn by the government?
- There will be a change in role…
- Decision on 25% ethanol blend delayed?
Ethanol Policy: A very important news is coming for the vehicle owners. The decision to add 25% ethanol to petrol is expected to be postponed. There were ongoing discussions about E20 across the country and protests from motorists as well as complaints from the automobile sector. Various videos were going viral. Hence, it appears that the central government is currently in no rush to introduce E25, i.e. petrol containing 25% ethanol. According to a report in the Indian Express, given the public’s concern and growing opposition, the government may postpone the decision for some time.

Why will this decision be postponed?
In recent times, many vehicle owners have complained about E20 petrol causing loss of mileage, damage to vehicles and effects on older vehicles. For this reason, the government now wants to do more research, technical studies and discussions before implementing E25.
What is the current situation?
Currently, E20 petrol is available across the country. This petrol contains 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. The government aims to reduce dependence on crude oil imports, reduce pollution and promote the use of ethanol to increase farmers’ incomes.
Preparation before applying E25
According to a report in Indian Express, the government wants auto companies, oil marketing companies and all other agencies to be fully prepared before implementing E25. This will require vehicle re-inspection and engine calibration.
Why do people complain?
Vehicle owners report that E20 petrol has reduced fuel efficiency in some vehicles. Moreover, the engines and other parts of the old vehicles have been damaged, which raises a question mark. But car companies and the government claim that E20 has been implemented after extensive testing and is completely safe for new vehicles.
What does the government want?
The government wants to promote more ethanol-blended gasoline in the future, but for now the decision to implement E25 will not be rushed. First the tests will be completed and only then the future policy will be decided.
