‘No pressure on automakers to hide any fact’: Centre clears air amid E20 backlash
The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas stated there is no government pressure on automakers regarding E20 petrol, amid backlash over its use. Claims of reduced mileage and potential engine damage have been dismissed, with the ministry asserting that extensive testing supports E20's safety. The fuel, comprising 80% petrol and 20% ethanol, became standard in India last year.
