Govt's E20 Push Sparks Debate
As per the Motor Vehicles Act in India, if there is a type change in a vehicle, an ordinance has to be passed by the Cabinet. So, what is happening is illegal. There is no ordinance that has been passed for changing from petrol to E20: @drnishantadv
The BIS standards for E20 fuel have been formulated properly, and the official notification has been issued by the MoPNG: Abbhinav Kummra, Joint VP, BIEPA tells @madhavgk

Science over speculation.
In this video, I demonstrate the basic principle of phase separation in E20 petrol using water to help explain the science behind ethanol blending.
This is an educational demonstration only—not an official fuel quality test or a comment on government policy.
Watch, learn, and always handle fuel safely.

Dear @Toyota_India,
Since you’ve publicly attributed vehicle breakdowns to contaminated EBMS supplied through fuel stations, I invite you to an open, evidence-based technical discussion.
I challenge you to choose any Retail Outlet, anywhere in India, and demonstrate—using scientific evidence and established fuel handling protocols—how such alleged adulteration is carried out and sustained within the existing supply chain.
Let’s move the conversation from assumptions to verifiable facts. The industry and consumers deserve transparency backed by data, not generalised allegations.
@ToyotaMotorCorp@Secretary_MoPNG@siamindia
Dear @siamindia , If, as submitted by the learned Attorney General before the Hon’ble Supreme Court, the #E20 programme remains an “ongoing experiment” and its full impact is yet to be assessed, transparency becomes imperative. As the representative body of Indian automobile manufacturers, will SIAM place in the public domain the technical validation reports, durability & reliability studies, FMEA, field performance data, warranty trend analysis and OEM recommendations? Millions of car owners deserve clear guidance, and petroleum dealers at the forecourt need authentic technical advisories to responsibly address consumer concerns. Public confidence is strengthened through scientific transparency, not uncertainty. #ConsumerFirst #AutomobileIndustry #E20 #RoadSafety

@_AIPDA Inspite of asking increase of asking dealer margin as we the dealers how much we are doing silently the words of them , though the product cost doubled our margin same.
Petroleum Dealers have been the backbone of India’s fuel distribution network, serving consumers through every challenge and circumstance. However, rising operational costs, increasing compliance requirements, manpower expenses, and stagnant dealer margins are creating serious concerns regarding the long-term viability of dealership operations.
I am exploring the possibility of organizing a peaceful Dharna at Jantar Mantar, New Delhi, to constructively highlight these issues before the Government, Oil Marketing Companies, policymakers, and the public.
Before taking any further steps, I would like to hear from fellow dealers across the country. Do you believe the time has come for a collective representation of our concerns? Your views, suggestions, and willingness to participate will help determine the way forward.
A strong and united voice, backed by facts and professionalism, can help bring meaningful attention to the challenges faced by the dealer community.

“Today’s low-volume dealer is tomorrow’s closed outlet. Expansion without viability is not growth—it’s slow destruction of the dealership ecosystem.”
Well @HardeepSPuri Ji,
While the Oil Marketing Companies (@IndianOilcl, @HPCL, @BPCLimited) continue to report quarterly profits and distribute dividends, thousands of petroleum dealers—particularly low-volume retail outlets—are facing a serious survival crisis.
The core issues need urgent attention:
• Dealer margins have failed to keep pace with inflation, rising wages, electricity costs, compliance expenses, digital payment charges and interest costs.
• Aggressive commissioning of new Retail Outlets without adequate trading-area assessment has fragmented volumes, pushing both existing and newly commissioned dealerships into unsustainable competition.
• OMCs appear focused on market-share expansion, but the financial viability of dealerships—the backbone of fuel retailing—is steadily deteriorating.
• Many dealers are being pushed towards Holiday Schemes, mounting debt and financial distress despite having invested substantial capital and years of effort.
The irony is striking: OMC profitability continues, while the dealer network that delivers fuel to consumers struggles to remain operational.
A dealership should not become financially unviable merely because volumes have been redistributed through unchecked network expansion.
The time has come for:
✔ Periodic and transparent dealer margin revision
✔ Scientific trading-area planning before new RO commissioning
✔ Viability protection for low-volume outlets
✔ Review of dealership sustainability across India
If corrective measures are not taken now, the sector may witness increasing dealership closures, distressed operations and erosion of confidence among entrepreneurs who partnered with OMCs in good faith.
Time to act before the damage becomes irreversible.
Fuel dealers across India have repeatedly stated that margins have not kept pace with increasing operating costs such as salaries, electricity, maintenance and compliance expenses.
Dealer associations have argued that margin revisions were not carried out regularly for years and that the resulting financial stress has affected thousands of fuel stations.
Even after the 2024 margin revision, several dealers described the increase as modest relative to actual operating costs.
Recent reports also indicate financial stress arising from changes in dealer credit arrangements and working-capital requirements.

All Oil Marketing Companies are claiming no shortage of fuel , no pressure on dealers to uplift branded petrol or diesel, no restrictions on sales , etc etc …..
Now kindly tell whether the document attached is ORIGINAL OR FABRICATED ?
If ORIGINAL, then why has it been not implemented even after more than 10 years have passed and that to which has been duly signed by all three O.M.C’s !
When O.M.C’s simply ignore their written commitment, rather have befooled their DEALERS (Associates) , why will Country Men believe in your above post ?????
बोतल और प्लास्टिक के गैलेनो में पेट्रोल डीजल नहीं देने पर आये दिन पेट्रोल पंपों झगड़े और मार पीट की घटना । एक्जीक्यूटिव कमिटी ने सर्वसम्मति से निर्णय लिया है कि इन मुद्दों पर अंतिम निर्णय लेने और आंदोलन की रूपरेखा तय करने हेतु दिनांक 1 जून 2026 को दक्षिण छोटानागपुर क्षेत्र की सभी
तेल कंपनियों की नीतियों पर डीलरों में आक्रोश, 1 जून को बुलाई गई AGM,एकतरफा नीतियां, अव्यवहारिक बिक्री लक्ष्य, तेल के बढ़ते कीमतों के बाद भी डीलर कमीशन का ना बढ़ना, अनुचित डेबिट/पेनल्टी, मांग के अनुरूप स्टॉक व सप्लाई न मिलना, मनमाने निरीक्षण एवं व्यापार की स्वतंत्रता पर अंकुश।
तेल कंपनियों के डीलरों की एक आम सभा (AGM) रांची में बुलाई गई है। इस AGM में सभी डीलर अपने विचार रखेंगे और उसके बाद ही ज्ञापन सौ���पने, वार्ता या आंदोलन की अगली रणनीति तय की ज���एगी। एसोसिएशन ने सभी डीलरों से AGM में अधिक से अधिक संख्या में भाग लेने की अपील की है।
रांची जिलें में पेट्रोल एवं डीजल की उपलब्धता को लेकर उत्पन्न स्थिति की समीक्षा करते हुए आज आईओसीएल, एचपीसीएल एवं बीपीसीएल, के प्रतिनिधियों के साथ एक महत्वपूर्ण बैठक की। बैठक में वर्तमान स्थिति, आपूर्ति श्रृंखला तथा उपभोक्ताओं की बढ़ी हुई मांग पर विस्तृत समीक्षा की गई।
बैठक में तेल कंपनियों के प्रतिनिधियों ने बताया कि वर्तमान रूप से जो पेट्रोल डीजल की कमी स्थिति उत्पन्न हुई है, वह उपभोक्ताओं द्वारा अपनी सामान्य आवश्यकता से PANIC होकर अधिक मात्रा में पेट्रोल-डीजल भरवाने के कारण हैं। लोग अपने वाहनों में जरूरत से ज्यादा ईंधन स्टोर कर रहे हैं, जिससे पंपों पर अस्थायी दबाव बढ़ा है।
प्रतिनिधियों ने आपूर्ति पर निगरानी रखे हुए हैं�� उन्होंने जिला प्रशासन के साथ पूर्ण समन्वय बनाए रखने और किसी भी प्रकार की समस्या पर तत्काल सूचना देने का भी आश्वासन दिया।
बैठक में अनुमंडल पदाधिकारी सदर रांची, श्री रजत कुमार, विशिष्ट अनुभाजन पदाधिकारी रांची, श्रीमती मोनी कुमारी, जिला आपूर्ति पदाधिकारी रांची, श्री रामगोपाल पांडेय, आईओसीएल, एचपीसीएल, एवं बीपीसीएल के प्रतिनिधि एवं सम्बंधित पदाधिकारी उपस्थित थे।
🌟 जिला प्रशासन स्थिति पर सतर्क नजर रखे हुए है और आम जनता से अपील की कि केवल अपनी वास्तविक आवश्यकता के अनुसार ही ईंधन भरवाएं 🌟
तेल कंपनियों के अधिकारियों को जिलें में सुचा���ू आपूर्ति बनाए रखने के लिए आवश्यक कदम उठाने का निर्देश दिया। उन्होंने कहा कि जिला प्रशासन स्थिति पर सतर्क नजर रखे हुए है और आम जनता से अपील की कि वे PANIC न हो कर केवल अपनी वास्तविक आवश्यकता के अनुसार ही ईंधन भरवाएं।
जिला प्रशासन सभी उपभोक्ताओं से अनुरोध करता है कि वे सामान्य मात्रा में ही पेट्रोल-डीजल भरवाए । अनावश्यक स्टॉकिंग से अन्य लोगों को परेशानी हो सकती है।
