India mandates nationwide E20 petrol supply
Change
India required oil marketing companies to supply petrol blended with 20% ethanol (E20) across all states and Union Territories starting April 1, 2026.
Why it matters
The requirement compels fuel distributors and retailers to secure ethanol inputs and reconfigure supply chains to ensure E20 availability everywhere, limiting their ability to offer unblended petrol. It increases binding demand for domestically produced ethanol and reduces the volume of crude oil India needs to import.
