Centre clears way for ‘flex-fuel’ up to E100: Why, what changes for you
The Indian government amended the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, allowing flex-fuel vehicles to operate on up to E100, nearly pure ethanol. This change expands fuel options for specially designed vehicles but does not permit all petrol cars to use E100. The amendment also raises the weight limit for light petrol and diesel vehicles from 3,000 kg to 3,500 kg.
