India clears the way for cars powered by almost pure ethanol with new rules

Central Government has approved new rules allowing specially designed vehicles to run on E100 fuel.
E100 contains nearly 100% ethanol, a fuel made from crops like sugarcane & maize.
Ordinary petrol cars & E20 vehicles cannot use E100 unless specially designed for it.
• The move aims to reduce India's dependence on imported petrol & encourage cleaner fuel alternatives
