Whenever the forced e20 mandate is questioned, NiGa's paid PR agency and IT cell bots become Vengaboys and start singing "Brazil".
To all such parrots -
Stop comparing India’s aggressive E20 roll-out to Brazil. It's a completely flawed parallel.
- Brazil started its "Biofuels" program way back in the 1970s. They spent 50+ years slowly building their entire fuel ecosystem, allowing infrastructure and automakers to mature gradually. We are compressing that timeline radically, leaving consumers to deal with sudden transitions.
- In Brazil, consumers get actual choice at the pump. They can select different blends at different, heavily incentivised price points. Crucially, ethanol is priced according to the "70% rule" - at least 30% cheaper than petrol - to offset its lower energy density. In India, consumers lack choice, and the discount on high-ethanol blends (like E85) doesn't yet cover the 20-30% drop in mileage.
- Brazilian roads are dominated by Flex-Fuel Vehicles (FFVs) capable of handling E0 to E100, a technology they mastered over two decades ago. India, however, has a massive legacy fleet of over 30 crore older vehicles built for E5/E10, which face serious risks of engine corrosion and exponential mileage drops on high blends.
- Finally, the environmental cost is vastly different. Brazil's sugarcane fields are largely rain-fed, blessed with abundant water. In contrast, India's sugarcane and grain-to-ethanol production draws heavily from highly stressed groundwater reserves, making a blind copy of the Brazilian model an ecological nightmare for our water security.
Forcing mandates without choice, true pricing parity, or technical maturity isn't following the "Brazil model" - it's ignoring it.

@tehseenp@lavkeshjain Thank you Sir , Glad to see that young visionary leaders like you are more connected with the common people in raising the issues that actually matter and are affecting the public on a large scale. Hope to see a strong opposition regarding Ethanol blending. We are with YOU !
@venkat_fin9 And now they are also importing Ethanol from USA ,
They very thing they said will cut India’s oil import bill.
It was never for anyone’s benefit, just for personal sake.
@AamAadmiParty At least unadulterated fuel should be available at comparable market prices for the old vehicles .
Indians cannot change their vehicles every 6 months now.
They are mocking every citizen .

धर्म की रक्षा के लिए अपना सर्वस्व न्योछावर करने वाले चारों साहिबज़ादों की वीरता की ये कहानी हर दिल में देशभक्ति और स्वाभिमान का जज्बा पैदा करती है।
गुरु गोबिंद सिंह जी के इन लालों की वीरता को कोटि-कोटि नमन।
