Hardeep Puri said that ethanol is used in racing cars as well to defend his stand on E20. This is the Petroleum Minister's understanding of the issue. What can one even say to that!
First, race cars are specifically engineered to run on ethanol; therefore, it does not harm them. This is not the same as forcing E20 into regular cars that are not engineered to handle it. In non-compliant vehicles, ethanol will aggressively degrade standard rubber gaskets, plastic parts, and aluminum components over time.
Second, a racing engine is built to survive for only a few hundred miles before being stripped down and rebuilt by professional mechanics, who easily manage any fuel-induced wear. An average citizen, however, needs their car to last for over a decade. Running non-compliant engines on E20 will certainly not help achieve that.
Third, race teams use ethanol solely for a performance boost due to its high octane rating, not for fuel economy. For regular people, however, fuel economy matters immensely.
DID YOU KNOW - E20 implementation was Planned Gradually by 2030 🥺
Original Plan For E20 Was Clear — 20% Ethanol Blending By 2030 To Boost Farmers, Cut Imports & Clean Air! Great Motive. Reasonable Target.
But It Got Fast Tracked Dramatically To 2025... And India Achieved It Years Ahead Of Schedule! 🇮🇳🔥 By Force. What was the Hurry? Why Was it Fast Tracked?
Now E20 Petrol Is Here As The New Normal. Mileage Dropping 5-6%? Some users report much Lower Mileage. Older Vehicles Facing Corrosion Risks & Higher Maintenance? Your Wallet Feeling The Heat While Oil Imports Plunge?
8 out of 10 Existing Vehicles Bought using Hard Earned Post Tax Money is Non E20 Compliant.
Massive Win For Energy Security, Farmer Income & Environment. We Agree. But Is The Rush Hurting Common Users With Pre-2023 Cars & Bikes?
Our Only Demand is that the Transition Should Have been Smoother.

@singh_antarjit @Mohammed_Sherry Absolutely right. I don't think I should pay another 4.5k just to see some minor gameplay improvements and bowling actions. They have been scamming us.
Dr. @harshadenv, Asst. Prof. in SCENE @iit__mandi, delivered an insightful keynote on ‘Biogeochemical Alterations in Mid-Himalayan Ecosystems under Stress’ at WSRSCC 2024, IIT Jammu. PhD scholars Ms. Nikita Gupta & Mr. Rajat Dhiman also participated. @AECBL_IITMandi
Mr. Rajat Dhiman, a PhD scholar with Dr. Harshad Kulkarni at @IITMandi, recently presented his groundbreaking study at #Arsenic2024 in Bhubaneswar! His work is a critical step in understanding and addressing arsenic dynamics in our ecosystems. 💧#EnvironmentalScience#Research
We have ruined tourism spots.
'heart bleeds to see what we have done to Manali and Shimla'

Must listen! What a beautiful message ,This is Himachal, this is our culture, built on the values instilled by our elders. A message from Dadi that everyone should hear so that we can become a better society!
