Protecting consumers from exploitation and ensuring accountability are our foremost responsibilities. The Department of Legal Metrology, led by Minister Shri @ArshadRizwan has conducted extensive inspections across Karnataka under Mission Nikhara. Independent laboratory tests have revealed alarming levels of ethanol blending in petrol samples from major oil companies, with some recording levels as high as 31.2%, well beyond the prescribed E20 limit.
While the Union Government speaks of the benefits of ethanol blending and energy security, it cannot turn a blind eye to the violation of E20 norms and blend more ethanol thereby imposing financial burden on ordinary citizens. Reduced mileage, potential vehicle damage and rising maintenance costs are concerns that deserve serious attention. It is unacceptable that consumers should bear the cost while oil companies continue to report substantial profits.
We demand that the Union Government:
1. Publicly disclose the actual ethanol content in petrol supplied across the country.
2. Initiate strict legal action against oil companies found exceeding the prescribed blending limits and make petrol pump level audit reports public.
3. Establish an E20 Damage Compensation Fund with a simple, time-bound mechanism to compensate affected vehicle owners.
4. Make disclosure of ethanol blending levels mandatory at every petrol station and ensure consumers have the choice of fuel suitable for their vehicles.
The Government of Karnataka will continue its inspections and stand firmly with consumers to ensure transparency, accountability and the right to quality fuel at every petrol station.
Karnataka Finds Petrol with Up to 31% Ethanol
Petrol samples from 7 Karnataka districts showed ethanol as high as 31.2% (IOCL outlet), far above the E20 limit of 20%. 11 of 14 samples failed the standard. Highest readings: IOCL 31.2%, HPCL Power 30.5%, BPCL Speed 26.5%. Oil companies dispute the results, saying their nationwide tests stayed within 19-21% and Karnataka’s method was not as per rules.

25 year old Rahul from Adilabad, Telangana works in Pune and came back home for Dusshera.
He was bit by a scorpion yesterday and went to RIMS Hospital for treatment.
Rahul allegedly started filming the way the hospital, doctors and nurses were functioning. His family alleges that the treatment and conditions at the hospital were pathetic.
This apparently led to an argument.
Angered by this, the nurses called the police.
The very dedicated police took him to the station, booked him under nuisance case.
Rahul came back home last night form the police station, wrote a suicide note about how he was treated at the hospital and at the police station & died by suicide!!!
A young life gone too soon for questioning flaws & inadequacies in the system.
@HeroMotoCorp we do need proper mechanics that work with love towards bikes, not one feels someone’s problem is not their concern. I personally have seen every hero service center has this issue of unresponsive and improper staff maybe it is the problem with puducherry and TN
@HeroMotoCorp it is the problem of all the xpulse users, why do your mechanics not know how to clean the bike and give it as new to make it run. Why do they hate hero bikes? Why should we pay and suffer at the same time ?
@HeroMotoCorp Me ans my fellows own xpulse and even premier showrooms couldn’t identify small problem with plates. After finally identified after multiple stagnated services where staff could not even identify the problem. And repair takes 3 days. If in person it takes 7 hours
