India mandates nationwide sale of 20% ethanol-blended petrol
Fuel suppliers must deliver E20 petrol with minimum RON 95
Change
India mandated nationwide sale of petrol blended with up to 20% ethanol and minimum RON 95 from April 1, 2026.
Why it matters
The directive requires fuel suppliers to adjust blending, distribution and quality standards, reducing availability of lower-octane fuels and enforcing national compliance.
Implications
- — Fuel companies must comply with blending and quality standards — non-compliance risks regulatory action
- — Vehicle operators must assess compatibility — failure risks operational issues
