This is my understanding so far on e20 fiasco. Correct me If I am wrong anywhere. I don’t want to cause any fear mongering.
E100 is a bad idea. Not because ethanol is bad. But because this is not how you do it.
Brazil is the only country in the world that has made ethanol fuel actually work at scale.
They started in 1975. It took them thirty years. And the order in which they did it matters. First they built the cars. Millions of them, flex-fuel vehicles that could handle ethanol. The fuel infrastructure came after, once the demand was already sitting in driveways across São Paulo and Rio. By the time Brazilians were filling up on pure ethanol, they had spent decades building the engine technology, the pump network, the supply chain, and the price stability to make it viable. Even then it had rough patches.
India has done it the other way around.
We announced the fuel before the cars exist. The flex-fuel fleet right now is one Wagon R and some Hero bikes. That is not a fleet.
That is a pilot project dressed up as a policy.
This is not just it, other issue are:
Ethanol in India comes mostly from sugarcane. And sugarcane is one of the thirstiest crops we grow. It needs four to five times more water than most other crops. In Maharashtra, which is our biggest sugarcane state, that has always been a tension that everyone quietly lives with.
Now go to Vidarbha. This is the eastern part of Maharashtra. Cotton country. Drought country. The region where farmer suicides made headlines for years because the rains failed and the debt did not. Water here is not a policy question. It is a survival question. A farmer in Yavatmal or Wardha will tell you that a bad monsoon does not mean a bad harvest. It means a bad year for everything.
Sugarcane is already creeping into this region because the ethanol push has made it more profitable than cotton. And if E100 scales the way the government wants it to, that pressure gets stronger. More farmers in water-scarce land will shift to a crop that drinks water like it is free. The ones who can afford a borewell will go deeper. The ones who cannot will watch their neighbours do it and worry.
Nobody in the E100 announcement talked about this.
The government will say farmers should be free to grow what is profitable. That is fair. But policy that makes one choice significantly more profitable than another is not neutral. It is a nudge. And nudging water-stressed farmers in Vidarbha toward sugarcane is a nudge with consequences that will show up not in a press conference but in a groundwater report five years from now.
Then there is the trust problem sitting on top of all of this. Last April, E20 replaced regular petrol at 90,000 pumps without much warning. Mileage dropped. Repairs came up. A man in Chennai spent close to ₹4 lakh on fuel-related damage. The government's response was essentially that people were spreading misinformation. That is not how you bring people along.
So now E100 arrives and people are not starting from neutral. They are starting from angry.
Here is what would have actually made sense.
Pick three or four cities. Pune, Lucknow, Coimbatore, one more. Build a proper E100 pilot there. Put the pumps in. Work with one or two carmakers to get a few thousand flex-fuel vehicles on the road in those cities. Run it for two years. Measure the mileage honestly. Publish the cost per kilometre in plain numbers. Let a family in Pune tell their cousin in Nagpur that their monthly fuel bill actually went down. That cousin will want in.
That is how Brazil did it. That is how you build a market.
Instead we have a national announcement, a handful of cars, almost no pumps, unresolved water questions, unhappy farmers in the wrong regions growing the wrong crop for the wrong reasons, and a public that has already been burned once and is not in a mood to be told to trust the process again.
E100 could have been a good story. Grow your own fuel, keep the money at home, give farmers a second income, reduce the import bill. All of that is real and worth doing.
But a good idea launched badly does not stay a good idea for long.
It just becomes the next thing people are angry about.
Listen PM Narendra Modi, if you can’t condemn USA for attacking 3 Indian ships & killing 3 Indians, PLEASE RESIGN & vacate it for someone who is woman/man enough to condemn USA.

अब ये कहने की भी ज़रूरत नहीं कि चुनाव आयोग सीधे बीजेपी से निर्देश लेकर और बीजेपी के अंडर में काम कर रहा है। ये अब जग ज़ाहिर है और बेहद दुर्भाग्यपूर्ण है। कम से कम ऐसी भाषा के ट्वीट करके इतने अहम संस्थान की इज़्ज़त तो सरेआम मत उछालिये।
This explains why I kept a safe distance from Modi from the time he assumed power in May 2014. I did not even go to gift him a copy of my book on him. Just sent an unsigned copy through his favourite bureaucrat Bharat Lal!
The names of women who were made MPs and ministers by Modi due to intimacy with him were being whispered loudly enough within Sanghi power networks right at the outset. That is why I took precautions very early on.
The names of those like Hardeep Puri who provided him special services while he was Gujarat CM were also being shared in hushed tones as soon as Hardeep and Jaishankar were included in the Cabinet!
In 2014, when I went for lectures to America, there too tales of his aiyyashi were doing the rounds.
Appointment of 12th pass Smriti Irani as Education Minister had given credence to other scandals, till then hidden from public view.
The scandal involving Mansi Soni had already reached the Supreme Court.
Someone close to Modi gave me a whole set of papers submitted in the Supreme Court by the incarcerated IAS officer who too was having a rollicking time with Soni.
In addition, people from Gujarat, including some of those close to Modi, shared with me disgusting stories of his sickly dalliances with women while he was Gujarat CM.
And earlier while he was pracharak and BJP office bearer!
Hearing those stories, I became so averse to his presence that I avoided even those functions, including marriage receptions, where Modi was likely to show up!
So traumatized I was by the gory accounts that I actually sank into deep depression in 2014 which deeply impacted my health. Went for 21 days to an Ayurvedic healing centre in Coimbatore in 2015 in the hope of recovering from multiple shocks.
I remember when I shared my grief at the reports I was hearing with a very senior RSS intellectual, he shrugged it off saying, "why are you so shocked? Why should his personal life bother any of us?"
The appointment of #pornpeddler Amit Malviya as BJP's Social
Media incharge was yet another proof of the inclinations of the top bosses of BJP!
I might have overlooked his predatory sexual conduct, if he had done well on other fronts.
But his aggressive peddling of genocidal vaccines and brazen attempts at crushing Hindu samaj and demonizing Hindu dharma, his outrageous patronage of Bheemtas and Meemtas to launch lethal attacks on Hindus, his slavish conduct vis a vis the Globalist Mafia, his devilish conduct in persecuting Hindus during the Kathua Kand (described in detail in my book The Girl From Kathua, A Sacrificial Victim of GhazwaE Hind) and much else, made me realize in the first term itself that we are saddled with a Satanic ruler, a CIA plant who has been put in power to wreck India, and decimate Hindus!
Modi's personality disorders have convinced me that we should pay far more attention to sexual corruption of our leaders.
Those who are compromised on this front very easily succumb to blackmail by enemies of Bharat, than those who are financially corrupt!
Will soon provide proof of how he is being blackmailed from day one.
Hence the vulgar 56 inchiya boasts!
