Facing backlash, government likely to delay higher 25% ethanol blend in petrol
The Indian government is likely to delay the introduction of a 25% ethanol blend in petrol due to backlash over the rapid increase from 10% to 20% ethanol in just three years. Originally, the government planned to implement the 20% ethanol blend by 2030, but E20 is now the standard petrol variant. No formal date for the E25 rollout has been announced, as recent government decisions have raised concerns among motorists about the blending policy.
