Supreme Court Reviews Government’s Ethanol Blending Policy for Petrol

The Supreme Court of India is currently examining the government’s proposal to blend 20% ethanol into petrol. This initiative aims to promote alternative fuels and reduce reliance on imported oil while addressing environmental concerns. However, there are apprehensions regarding its impact on vehicle performance and mileage. The government asserts that this policy is part of a broader energy strategy, with potential benefits for the rural economy and energy security. As the court deliberates, the future of this blending policy remains uncertain.
