@virajraundal8 India is a bureaucratic country not a meritocratic one.

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

@amitmalviya @MODIfiedVikas The E20 ethanol mandate isn't a flawless win-win. Facts matter:
📉 Mileage drops 3-5% due to lower energy density.
💰 At $70/bbl crude, ethanol costs MORE than refined petrol.
💧 Sugarcane cultivation severely drains groundwater.
Policy must admit trade-offs, not just PR.

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

@marinebharat Do you have the economic comprehension of a toddler? The "maatam" is about being extorted ₹102/L for 20% diluted (E20) fuel while crude is $24 cheaper than 2013! People will pay for quality. They just don't want to pay a 20% premium for adulterated trash like you're defending

@DDIndialive US: Standard is E10; E15 is optional and legally banned for pre2001 cars to protect engines.
Brazil: Mandates E27, but >80% of their entire active light fleet consists of flex-fuel vehicles
India: Mandated E20 nationwide as a blanket standard, yet 80% petrol fleet is noncompliant

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

Imagine telling someone in 2014 : when they were complaining about petrol hitting ₹73 while crude was $106 : in 2026 crude would cost EXACT same, but pure petrol would be ₹160/L

They’d ask what war we lost.
we lost to corrupt government, inefficient, self-centered bureaucracy

You can call me Ethanol Paglu

My 2022 New Baleno gave me average mileage of 16 KMPL for 65,000 KM

Mumbai City - 16 KMPL
Highways - 18 KMPL

Someone clearly missed the thermodynamics lecture. High octane ethanol is great for high-compression sports cars on a racetrack. For normal day-to-day cars, lower energy density just means lower mileage. Time to retake those basic engineering classes

[Press Trust of India @PTI_News]

VIDEO | Union Petroleum Minister Hardeep Singh Puri (@HardeepSPuri) addresses concerns over ethanol-blended fuel.

Addressing a press conference in Delhi, he says, "Somebody is saying that fuel mileage is going to drop. It is now well established that ethanol is even used in racing cars. Acceleration improves. What is that called? Knocking? Knocking also improves. Mileage? Yes, it may drop a little. But it may drop slightly due to various factors... Secondly, after consulting all stakeholders, including SIAM and ARAI, we have reached this stage. Then someone says, 'Your insurance will no longer cover this'. Insurance companies have already clarified that there is no such issue. But who benefits from spreading this false narrative? I am not going to make any accusations, but one thing should be very clear. There is enough space in India's growing consumer market for all technologies to coexist. There is room for electric vehicles, biofuel blended vehicles, and we are currently only at 20 per cent ethanol blending. If we move from 20 per cent to 25 per cent, it will happen only after all the necessary tests have been completed. There is also enough space for hybrid vehicles and CNG vehicles..."

@IndianGems_ Explains why the auto-rickshaws have been cutting me off so fast lately. Must be that racing fuel

@marinebharat Well, it explains so much about the infra you defend.
If you think computer engineering is useless, it makes sense why you’re satisfied with potholes & power cuts . The rest prefers things that actually work like the algorithm that unfortunately put this tweet on my timeline

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

@BJP4India That’s cool, but you know what sound we’d prefer? Silence.
The silence of a safe train journey where tracks don't fracture. The silence of an airport terminal where the roof stays up.
The silence of a bridge that lasts longer than its inauguration ribbon.
First fix the basics.

@chixxsays Stop the whataboutism. Your smart city feeds sewage to its citizens, those glass buildings are just shiny tombstones

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

@againjenish @mikejava85 @chixxsays Stop the whataboutism. Every death is tragic, equating illicit liquor with municipal drinking water is insane. One is a vice the other is necessity the state is mandated to provide safely. If your smart city feeds sewage to its citizens those glass buildings are just shiny graves

[Ujjwal Verma @ujjwalvrm]

@marinebharat You have the confidence of a genius and the facts of a toddler.
It’s a dangerous combination.

@peeleraja I can build a bridge without reading Shakespeare. It will be ugly, but it will stand.

I cannot build a bridge without Newton. It will literally fall down.

Science is a functional dependency. Humanities is a moral one. Learn the difference before lecturing on logic
