Government Reassures Public on Ethanol Blending and Vehicle Insurance
The Indian government has stated that the ethanol blending program is safe and that the use of E20 fuel will not affect vehicle insurance validity. This reassurance comes amid what the government describes as misleading social media claims linking ethanol to vehicle problems and insurance invalidation. The Ministry of Petroleum clarified that there have been no reported issues since the introduction of E20 petrol, and experts suggest India's ethanol program is based on extensive research and practical experience.
