Ensuring affordable fuel for masses
WHEN INDIA ANNOUNCED its ambitious target to roll out 20% ethanol-blended petrol (E20) by FY26, it seemed like a win on all fronts. It promised to reduce oil imports, strengthen energy security, cut carbon emissions, and boost farmer incomes. Yet on the ground, the narrative has been more complicated.

A smarter, more flexible approach would be to open trade in fuel ethanol, maintain mechanisms to protect farmers, and adopt technological solutions to check evaporative emissions to the ethanol story work better for all.
