India Plans Multiple Ethanol-Blended Petrol Options for Consumer Choice at Fuel StationsPreviousNext

The Indian government has directed major state-run and private oil companies to develop infrastructure for dispensing multiple ethanol-blended petrol variants, including E20, E22, E25, and E30. This initiative follows new Bureau of Indian Standards norms and a proposal to allow fully ethanol-powered vehicles. Fuel stations will label these variants clearly to help consumers choose based on vehicle compatibility. The move aims to enhance ethanol adoption amid volatile crude prices and energy security concerns linked to the West Asia conflict.
