Ethanol-blended petrol E20: Counting gains
India's transition to E20, petrol blended with 20% ethanol, is aimed at cutting emissions, enhancing energy security, saving foreign exchange, and boosting farmer income, according to government assurances. These statements come in response to public concerns that E20 use reduces fuel efficiency, accelerates wear and tear, and could result in rejection of insurance claims for non-compliant vehicles. Independence Day 2025 Before Trump, British used tariffs to kill Indian textile Bank of Azad Hind: When Netaji gave India its own currency Swadeshi 2.0: India is no longer just a market, it's a maker Ethanol Blending Milestones (OMCs) 1.53% – 2014 10% – June 2022 12.06% – ESY* 2022–23 14.60% – ESY 2023–24 19.93% – ESY 2024–25^ 27% Ethanol Norms by Aug: Nitin Gadkari *ESY: 1 Nov–31 Oct | ^July 2025 Concerns Fears raised about drastic mileage reduction and faster wear of some rubber and gasket parts in older vehicles when using E20. Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas (MoPNG) admits a marginal decrease (1–2%) in mileage in E10 vehicles and those calibrated for E20, and 3–6% for others. However, MoPNG says this can be minimised through improved engine tuning and use of E20-compatible materials. Post-April 2023 vehicles are E20-compliant, MoPNG quotes SIAM. (Inexpensive) replacement of some rubber parts/gaskets advised in certain older vehicles after 20–30K km run, says ministry. Argument raised that ethanol-blended fuel should be sold cheaper because of its lower calorific value; however, MoPNG says current weighted average ethanol procurement price (Rs 71.32/L as of July) is now higher than petrol. Fears of insurance cover not valid, says ministry. Benefits From ESY 2014–15 to ESY 2024–25 (July): Crude oil substitution: 245 lakh metric tonnes Foreign exchange saved: Rs 1,44,087 crore CO2 emission reduction: 736 lakh metric tonnes (equivalent to planting 30 crore trees) GHG emissions: Sugarcane and maize-based ethanol emit up to 65% and 50% less GHG than petrol, respectively. Lower carbon emissions: ~30% vs E10 fuel. Farmer income: E20 programme expected to pay farmers Rs 40,000 crore in 2025 alone. Higher octane ethanol: E20's RON is 108.5 vs petrol's 84.4. Better Acceleration RON (Research Octane Number) 95 with blending of E20, resulting in better anti-knocking properties and performance. Economic impact: Large forex savings, rural income improvements, elimination of sugarcane arrears, support for maize cultivation.

By 2011, 83.1% of new cars sold in Brazil used flex-fuel technology, enabling engines to run on any mix of ethanol or petrol. Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai produce vehicles designed for ethanol blends.

The annual pass will be applicable only for non-commercial private vehicles such as cars, jeeps, and vans. It will allow seamless travel across National Highways without the need for repeated recharging of FASTag cards for toll payments. Live Events In closed tolling highways such as Delhi-Mumbai Expressway - where toll collection occurs exclusively at exit points - a single trip includes both entry and exit points. On the other hand, on open tolling routes like Delhi-Chandigarh, each toll plaza crossing would constitute a separate trip. The pass can be recharged again once the 200-trip limit in a year is reached. According to the MoRTH, those who already have a FASTag on their vehicles will not need to purchase a new FASTag. The annual pass will be valid only at National Highway (NH) and National Expressway (NE) fee plazas. At fee plazas on Expressways, State Highways (SH) managed by state governments or local bodies, the FASTag will operate as a regular one, and applicable user fee charges may apply. FASTag - the electronic toll collection system - uses Radio Frequency Identification (RFID) technology to automatically deduct toll charges from a prepaid account linked to the vehicle. Over 10.1 crore FASTags were issued till December 1, 2024, according to the road transport ministry's 2024 year-end review.
