India mandates E20 petrol supply across all states from April 1
Change
India mandated oil marketing companies to supply petrol blended with 20% ethanol (E20) across all states and Union Territories, effective April 1, 2026.
Why it matters
The requirement forces fuel supply chains to secure large, steady volumes of ethanol and to adapt blending, storage and distribution infrastructure for nationwide E20 delivery. That creates a binding demand signal for ethanol producers and reduces refiners' flexibility to offer unblended petrol.
