Has the govt lost its senses ? From 10% ethanol, they are now going to make it 20% ethanol blended petrol.
Has any dept made an study on issues of blended petrol, any white paper released ? No debate in Parliament. Will the insurance companies cover this damages .
On one hand states are asking more rice at govt rates, on the other hand govt refuses to sell under old system..it will allow stocks to rot so it can sell that same rice at rs 20 per kg to refinery.
Can todayâs vehicles accept the E20 blend?
For E10 fuel, the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM), had set up fuel material compatibility countermeasures for all vehicles from model year 2008. So, all vehicles sold in India after 2008 can take E10 fuel without any difficulty. However, current E10 compatible vehicles cannot take more than a 10 per cent blend as there are material compatibility concerns with parts that come in contact with fuel. There are design and material changes required to adapt to E20 fuel but the industry is working to implement E20 material compatibility for new vehicles from April 2023 onwards. There will be changes in hoses and gaskets but the investments required are not substantial.
Bhaiyon, already some gas stations like the Jio BP one are selling 20 percent ethanol blend.
DAM this means almost all vehicles are affected

Old news but still relevant, Mr.Gadkari has had a stake in companies like these since ages.
They are even testing this with diesel vehicles.
All they know/care about is it will damage older vehicles, so they will have to be scrapped and youâll have to buy a brand new vehicle so lots of income for them from taxes as well as scrappage.
Nope. Most by default donât even cover engine damage due to hydrolock. Even warranty wonât be covered due to âfuel adulterationâ.
They should just switch new vehicles to E100 (100% ethanol) and provide pure petrol for older vehicles. Itâs sad that we are essentially paying for adulterated fuel.
Theyâve not lost their minds. Theyâre looking at Brazil and trying to replicate it. Net crude bill is huge.
This seems to be one more planned obsolescence to keep the economy running.
with EV subsidies also being removed, more money in taxes and more expenses for us
This is the plan. At the federal level, govt is adding more and more emissions by building coal plants. It wants you to take the fall, and compensate its emissions by scrapping your old cars.
Delhi scraps vehicles older than 10 years and how much has it helped to control its pollution? Not even 1%.
Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas #MoPNG @PetroleumMin
Admits to 6% drop in mileage (obviously in test conditions, real world we all know)
âE20-compliant vehicles with upgraded components began rolling out from April 2023â.
So older vehicles are f*d ?
âReplacement of some rubber parts/ gaskets could be advised in certain older vehicles after prolonged use of say 20,000 to 30,000 kms.â
Imagine buying a car and in 2 years open / repair for no fault of yours and without any incentive.
Toyota: No Warranty If You Use E20 Petrol On E10 Hyryder, Innova Hycross Hybrids 
What about other manufacturers ?
Acko says no claim if engine failure due to incorrect fuel !
Just in: Rs 30,000cr to be given as budgetary support to Oil Mktg Cos for under recoveries.
Kar lo baat, where did E20 and cheap ruski oil benefit go ?
What does the govt wants from us ???
What are we even paying all those State and Central taxes for wtaf
State govt has no say in blending policy.
All hail the emperor! Sugar baron.
Just check petrol and diesel price. Someone will come and justify this as well and praise. Oh my lord modi
compliance and submission.
believe that we are living in amrit kaal and whatever it claims is the x trillion $ and the fastest growing economy. while the truth is what over a billion live everyday and in all honesty, it is at best comparable to a third world country.
thereâs a population who canât see beyond the propoganda and hate their neighbour. thereâs those who donât think beyond whatever markets they are trading in and the high street they frequent.
reminds me of something that I read as a child. a man teaching someone English - ass ass i nation.
sorry for the rant.
The best part is, we pay road tax for 15 years. But if our vehicle isnât E20 compliant, which most older vehicles except Hondas wonât be, the degradation in mileage and damage to the engine will cause us to sell or scrap the vehicle and get a new one in a few years. But the story wonât end there, by that time, the blending will most probably reach 27 or 30 percent. If the government is not planning to end or modify the blending policy, the least it can do is remove the road tax we pay. My Celerio has started dropping mileage in city at such a level that Iâm thinking of just learning to drive a 2-wheeler and get a bike or scooty for commute.
i have started to feel the heat even though car is E20 complaint.
Bit of lag in acceleration and pickup though mileage is untouched touchwood!
Did i just read this right. Union Minister Nitin Gadkari in Drug
