I CAN'T DEFEND/SUPPORT ANYTHING ON ETHANOL ABOVE E-20.
Anything above E20 is beneficial only if you own a certified flex-fuel vehicle which are presently on available in Bharat.
From what I understand: Higher ethanol blends can lead to:
-Lower mileage (ethanol contains less energy than petrol)
-Corrosion of fuel system components
-Compatibility and warranty issues in non-flex-fuel vehicles
Max permissible is E20 in present condition as cars manufactured since 2023 are designed to absorb this blend to max level. Not beyond that.
I'm definitely not in support of paying full amount for car to have it's life reduced later.
Sorry but I'm not on same page with Modi Sarkar on this.
To the public: "E20 fuel is safe and fully tested."
To the Supreme Court: "It’s just an experiment, we’ll know results next year."
The government completely lied about E20 readiness. They rushed this rollout to serve vested interests and corporate logistics, leaving millions of everyday vehicle owners to act as guinea pigs in a forced, destructive trial. Complete betrayal of public trust. #EthanolScam

Vehicle buyers pay huge upfront taxes, fees, and cesses. In return, they deserve the basic right to buy the exact fuel their vehicle engines were designed to run on.
If the govt wanted to "experiment" with E20 fuel, they should have done it responsibly by either buying a sample fleet of second-hand cars to test in a controlled settings or invite willing citizens to opt-in using subsidized fuel.
Forcing a mandatory policy onto everyone first and checking if it damages their engines later is outrageous. Treating the entire public as involuntary test subjects is a massive overreach.
If she could
- cuddle boyfriend in public stadium
- party in Singapore at 16
-take 1 cr to dupe fiancee and give that money to boyfriend
- conspire to murder with 3 attempts
- run a bakery
She could easily say NO. What she couldn't do was pass class 12th.
India has mounted a credible campaign to push Pakistan back onto the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) gray list, aided by its growing influence within the watchdog, including the appointment of an Indian official as FATF vice president. New Delhi plans to present fresh evidence of continued Pakistani state support for terrorist groups.
However, given the geopolitics, re-listing Pakistan remains an uphill battle. While FATF decisions require broad consensus, Pakistan retains backing from key members such as China, Saudi Arabia and Turkey.
The watchdog focuses on compliance with anti-money laundering and counterterrorism financing standards — not the presence of terrorists. Unless India can demonstrate that Pakistan has systematically backslid on the banking and legal changes that led to its U.S.-backed removal from the gray list in 2022, FATF is more likely to maintain enhanced monitoring than reimpose gray-list status.
I visit a lot of Indian hardware startups.
I see a lot of JLCPCB boxes.
I always ask, "Why are you getting this done in China? Why not India? Aren't you worried your designs will be copied?"
The answer is always the same: "No Indian firm can beat Chinese prices."
I hate this answer. Not because it's inaccurate (it makes sense and I don't blame them for choosing the most affordable option, especially when they're bootstrapping). I hate this answer because I just really wish the reality were different.
And that's why I'm so glad Vishal Tejwani (@ivishaltejwani) exists. This man is singlehandedly trying to flip the script by putting affordable PCB manufacturing machines into the hands of every Indian hardware startup.
Right now he's offering three systems:
1. StencilStation - Rs. 15k
2. SolderStation - Rs. 22k
3. PlaceStation - Rs. 2 lakh
You can't beat these prices in India right now unless you build these machines yourself.
Also, big shoutout to @prakdadlani for being an early believer in Vishal's vision and implementing PlaceStation in his factory to move PCB assembly from China to India.
Most of India's PCB prototyping still happens in China, with JLCPCB offering ultra-low cost, consistent quality, and ease of use for small quantities.
Indian PCB manufacturers exist, but they struggle to compete with China on price.
Now though, there's a new kid on the block.
@ivishaltejwani is building PlaceStation, a made-in-India PCB manufacturing product ecosystem (based on open-source systems) that combines accelerated stenciling, component pick and place automation, and a custom reflow oven.
By bringing all of these together in a desktop-sized assembly line, Vishal and team are unlocking unprecedented access to affordable in-house PCB prototyping for Indian startups.
We visited Vishal Tejwani's R&D office in Mumbai to see how he's making it happen.
Wrong of him to needlessly quote our ambassador in China on India- US relations under Trump and drag him into US domestic politics. Why make a personal expression of views in a private conversation public?
Ambassador has turned off replies. Wanted to ask a simple question. How is it benefitting India?
The US is a superpower, the richest economy on the planet. India is still a lower-middle-income country.
Who needs more jobs and more investments?
Can't fault the ambassador though for looking out for US interests.
Bas bakloli karwa lo isse.
Perfect example of, speaking with forked tongue.
But then again we have brain dead fellows here who will start screaming, "dekho Trump ne Modi ji ki daily routine ki taarif kardi."
#WATCH | Washington DC, USA: At the IX USISPF Leadership Summit 2026, Congressman Ro Khanna says, "The US-India relationship has been at the lowest point in the last 30 years. Trump's policies of getting into a war in Iran has been utterly destructive. It has been utterly destructive to the prices in India of gas. Dr Jaishankar if you don't believe me, the idea that we engaged in a unilateral war without our allies, without even consulting Europe or Canada or India, and made a mess of the world has hurt our credibility and then the irrationality of the tariff war. I was in China and the Indian ambassador said to me, a generation of trust has been lost by this president of yours..."
General Upendra Dwivedi concludes his term as Indian Army Chief.
His term will be remembered for many things including upping the induction of drones in the army, & giving a drubbing to Pakistan in May 2025 counter terror operation.
Breaking: "I was in China and the Indian Ambassador there told me that a generation of trust has been lost by President Trump. If we don't speak the truth about the damage this President has done..we are not living in reality," says US Congressman Ro Khanna at the USISPF summit
