Flex-fuel vehicles better fit for India than E25 rollout: AIDA
All India Distillers' Association president Vijendra Singh stated that flex-fuel vehicles are more suitable for India than the rollout of E25 petrol blends, citing concerns over engine performance and fuel efficiency. The ongoing debate about the impact of 20% ethanol-blended petrol (E20) has led to consumer demands for alternatives or a rollback of the program. Singh emphasized that reversing the E20 initiative would raise fuel prices and harm farmers' incomes, urging vehicle owners to seek assistance from manufacturers instead.
