A high-level auto industry source told me that all companies are under strict instructions from the Govt. to keep silent on the issues being caused due to Ethanol. Similar pressure on auto publications and journalists to not reveal the true state of affairs.

[Rattan Dhillon @ShivrattanDhil1]

There are roughly 100 influential automotive journalists in India who help shape public opinion and the direction of the auto industry. Yet not one of them is seriously questioning ethanol blending, E85, isobutanol in diesel, or the long-term impact these policies may have on consumers. The silence is deafening.

Why? Because speaking against powerful interests comes at a cost.

I have experienced it myself. When I criticized Mahindra, people connected to the company started making inquiries about me, my earnings, and even attempted to influence me.

Now there are efforts to pursue defamation claims. When I spoke about Tata’s vehicles, I was subjected to personal attacks, and event invitations for my team were affected. Recently, after posting a video about ethanol, I received pressure and threats that ultimately led to the video being taken down.

This is why I openly say that much of the automotive media ecosystem is compromised. Paid promotions, paid tweets, and sponsored narratives are far more common than people realize. I know how these systems work, and I believe that is one of the reasons why very few are willing to speak critically about ethanol-related policies.

The reality is that millions of consumers will be affected by these decisions. Don’t wait for journalists to be your voice people must speak for themselves.

As for me, I will continue to ask questions and share my views. I have never done paid posts, and I never will. No amount of pressure, influence, or money will change that! 🙏🏻

🚨 SUPREME COURT JUST SHUT DOWN TRANSPARENCY ON E20 FUEL – INDIA'S DRIVERS LEFT IN THE DARK! 😡

The highest court in the land just dismissed a PIL on E20 petrol. They said the government "followed due process."

But here's the shocker – the petition wasn't even demanding a full rollback! It was asking for three basic, common-sense things to protect millions of vehicle owners:

✅ Clear fuel labels at every pump
✅ Keep E10 option available
✅ A proper nationwide study on vehicle compatibility

All three requests? REJECTED.

This is what "due process" looks like in 2026 India?

E20 is being pushed everywhere. 20% ethanol blend in petrol. Government says it helps farmers and cuts oil imports. Fair enough.

But drivers across India are already reporting lower mileage, engine issues in older vehicles, and higher repair bills. Many cars made before 2023 weren't built for this high ethanol mix.

Instead of clear warnings at pumps or choice for regular fuel, we're getting forced rollout. No nationwide compatibility study that puts real doubts to rest. No labels so people know exactly what they're pumping.

Why is this controversial?

Because everyday Indians – bike riders, car owners, auto drivers – feel ignored. You're filling up your tank with something that might quietly damage your engine, and the system won't even give you basic information or options.

The PIL was filed in public interest. It wasn't anti-government. It was pro-people. Asking for transparency isn't radical – it's responsible.

Courts exist to protect citizens from hasty policies, right?

Yet here we are. A simple request for labels and study shot down. People are left wondering – whose side are the institutions on?

This isn't just about fuel. It's about trust. When even basic safeguards get rejected, ordinary citizens feel powerless. Fuel prices already pinch hard. Now this?

What now?

Drivers need to stay alert. Check your vehicle's manual. Consider maintenance more seriously. And keep demanding transparency – from pumps, from companies, from authorities.

India deserves better than "trust us, due process followed" when millions of engines and wallets are at stake.

(First time posted. 100% original take based on public reports and the recent ruling.)

[Venkatesh Alla @venkat_fin9]

The E20 playbook so far:

1. Change fuel silently at all pumps
2. Dismiss complaints as "misinformation"
3. Call critics a "petrol lobby"
4. Let SIAM U-turn on safety in 3 days
5. Have SC dismiss the PIL
6. Announce E30 standards
7. Repeat. Rinse. Repeat.

They make policies for their individual and families benifit, you pay the price.

[Venkatesh Alla @venkat_fin9]

Breaking: A fuel policy affecting 234 million vehicles was rolled out with:

• No formal consumer notification
• No mandatory pump labelling
• No independent damage study
• No compensation mechanism
• No alternative fuel option
• No parliamentary debate.

But sure, "well considered policy."

I have some advice for those impacted by what is looks like a CBSE scam. Please share this with those who are impacted:

A few days from now, maybe even today, a commission or a committee to probe this issue may be announced. Some bureaucrat will be transferred. Some minister might be moved to a different portfolio.

The system will now seek to calm this storm by doing pointless face-saving shit to buy time.

Media frenzy will die down. Journalists will move to a different story. Opposition will find a new issue to highlight.

You're not their priority. It's just how things work.

A few words of advice from an older hand who has done something to make things better re what you can do:

1. Don't give up. Don't stop till you get what you want. Identify a solution that you want. It could be a re-exam, or the demand for re-examination of marksheets. I don't know. Identify solutions and make a list. Demand outcomes.

2. Things will keep changing. Anticipate. Respond. Don't piss on anyone and don't make it personal. It's about the issue not the person.

3. Don't appoint a leader. Leaders get targeted, maligned and taken down. Don't give any lever to the dirty tricks departments. They're already rolling out their toolkits.

4. Twitter, YouTube and Insta are your turf. Don't go offline. Those rules are different. Cops are thugs. India is not Nepal / Bangladesh. Democratic process: Use your voice and the platforms you know better than the Ministry of censorship.

5. Mail your MP, MLA, political party people. Find their numbers and call them up. Calling really works. Flood the lines. Their emails and numbers are online. Tell them what you think. They'll need your votes in the future. Make them accountable to you by asking them to speak for you. Don't request. Demand that they do something. Be angry. That's how the message goes up the ladder. This should be your next step. If enough of you do this, things will change.

Find other ways to keep this alive without breaking the law.

There's an old blog post I've been thinking about a lot of late: Nobody cares. Just win.

I hope things work out for you.

Two economists just published a mathematical proof that AI will destroy the economy.

Not might. Not could. Will — if nothing changes.

The paper is called "The AI Layoff Trap." Published March 2, 2026. Wharton School, University of Pennsylvania. Boston University. Peer reviewed. Mathematically modeled.
The conclusion is one sentence.
"At the limit, firms automate their way to boundless productivity and zero demand."

An economy that produces everything. And sells it to nobody.
Here is how you get there.
A company fires 500 workers and replaces them with AI. A competitor fires 700 to keep up. Another fires 1,000. Every company is behaving rationally. Every company is following the incentives correctly. And every company is building a trap for itself.

Because the workers who were fired were also customers.
When they lose their jobs faster than the economy can absorb them, they stop spending. Consumer demand falls. Companies respond by cutting costs — which means automating more workers — which means less spending — which means more falling demand — which means more automation.

The loop has no natural exit.
The researchers tested every proposed solution. Universal basic income. Capital income taxes. Worker equity participation. Upskilling programs. Corporate coordination agreements.
Every single one failed in the model.
The only intervention that worked: a Pigouvian automation tax — a per-task levy charged every time a company replaces a human with AI, forcing them to price in the demand they are destroying before they pull the trigger.

No government has implemented this. No major economy is seriously discussing it.
Meanwhile the numbers are already tracking the curve. 100,000 tech workers laid off in 2025. 92,000 more in the first months of 2026. Jack Dorsey fired half of Block's workforce and said publicly: "Within the next year, the majority of companies will reach the same conclusion."
Nobody is doing anything wrong. Companies are following their incentives perfectly. That is exactly the problem.

Rational behavior. At scale. Simultaneously. With no mechanism to stop it.
Two economists built the math. The math leads to one place.

If you want to make real money in the market consistently, stop trying to call tops and bottoms and Monday-morning quarterbacking what you could have done.
Focus on managing risk relative to reward and turning over your edge. Then, your efforts will start producing profits instead of volatility and grief. 📈

What kind of mindset does the Finance Ministry have to tax short-term capital gains at 20% which was earned using money that was already taxed at 31.2%?

This is on top of the massive GST people pay on every single daily expense.

What kind of people think it’s acceptable to keep looting the same 3% of citizens again and again to run the system?
