If everything is fine as claimed, why this then? The original deadlines were more in sync with reality. This steamrolling and railroading should not have been done in the first place. All jhatka decisions.
#ExpressSpecial | Amid a raging backlash over a rapid increase in the use of ethanol in petrol from 10% to 20% in just three years, the government is likely to push back the proposed shift to a higher blend of ethanol fuel E25 comprising 75% petrol and 25% ethanol.
The government had originally planned to dispense petrol blended with 20% ethanol only by 2030. But the E20 fuel — 80% petrol and 20% ethanol — is now the standard petrol variant available nationwide.
While no formal date has been announced for dispensing E25 blended petrol, two government decisions over the last six weeks triggered fresh concerns: one, central excise duty exemption for blended fuel (22%-30% ethanol) and two, fuel standards notified by BIS for these blends.

It is there in this latest report of mine. SIAM clearly warned of impact in this letter. Govt still went through. And car bike manufacturers chimed along.
Sanket Ji try to cover impact on 2 wheelers also. Everyone is fixated on cars. 2W are much more vulnerable because before 2020 they were having carburettor based fuel injection system instead of MPFI. Cars switched to MPFI much earlier.
