Automakers' body urged govt to retain E10 after E20 rollout, shows 2021 NITI report
A 2021 NITI Aayog roadmap on ethanol blending shows that the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) had sought continued availability of E10 petrol alongside E20, warning that withdrawing the lower-ethanol fuel could create compatibility, safety, fuel-efficiency and drivability concerns for vehicles already on Indian roads.

Storage of e20 requires special HDPE layered sealed underground tanks, to protect from corrosion, and to prevent moisture ingress.
There are about 100k fuel stations in India. The haste with which e20 was mandated leaves little doubt that a majority of fuel stations don't have e20 compatible tanks. Hence, this water problem, and fuel impurity risk.
But when has scientific logic come in the way of vested interests. Public is there to pay for the whims and fancies of our netas.

@FDataAnalysis Given that RBR has a strong ICE unit, how difficult it is for them under current regulations to modify their harvesting and deployment of ERS to mimick the strengths of the Merc?
@BPCLimited@umashankarsingh Why don't you share a peer-reviewed study with independent agencies involved, instead of parroting the same line?
Independent testing by professionals in the automotive field have shown otherwise - so what study are you quoting?
@KiranKS How many crores to the ethanol factory owners? Why haven't prices come down after 20% blending?
Patriotism truly is the last refuge of a scoundrel!
Dear Supreme Court of India,
140 crore Indians are busy earning money and taking care of their families. They do not have the time, money or power to fight the Government. That is why people look towards the Supreme Court for justice.
Please do not wait until it is too late.
Every day E20 petrol is being promoted across the country. People are told it is completely safe. Ministers openly say, "Show me one vehicle anywhere in the world that had problems because of E20." But in the Supreme Court, the Government says E20 is still under study and the final results will come next year.
How can both be true?
If the study is not over, why is E20 being pushed on the whole country?
If everything is already proved, why tell the Supreme Court that the study is still going on?
Why are people not given the choice to buy normal petrol?
Why should 140 crore Indians become part of something that is still being studied?
The Government has all the power. People cannot leave their jobs, spend years in court and fight the Government. That is why the Supreme Court was made, to protect the common people when nobody else can.
Please ask one simple question.
If E20 is still under study, why is it being forced on the people?
Indian citizens are not for testing. Our vehicles, our hard earned money and our daily lives should not be put at risk without giving us a choice.
@IndianGems_ Please shut the hell up with this nonsense.
Our existing internal roads are begging to be repaired for years now, yet this BS propaganda doesn't stop.
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

#Opinion | India's biggest experiment isn't happening in a laboratory. It's happening at fuel pumps, with 1.4 billion people as the sample. Welcome to the world's biggest fuel trial, where every Indian motorist is unwillingly, a participant.

Sarthak Goswami has brilliantly exposed how Ethanol production is ruining a beautiful city.
He went to Byrnihat to investigate why a city with less than one lakh people is more polluted than Delhi, Ghaziabad & Lahore.
The reason? There are more than 80 factories in a small area, that are constantly pumping dust particles in the air.
The worst part is that these factories are producing Ethanol, the same product that is being sold as a solution to pollution.
I hope Gadkari can explain this without calling Sarthak a traitor.
The ministry of external affairs says that a passport is a document travel not the proof of citizen ship . Really ??? . So are they providing this travel document to some people with out being totally convinced that this person is an Indian citizen ?? . It is absurd .
A year after US prosecutors charged Gautam Adani for allegedly leading a bribery scheme in India, the billionaire had a private meeting with Donald Trump Jr. in his hometown of Ahmedabad https://t.co/sM8Lv1l5Pv
