Prime Minister Modi announced that India is going to commence the rollout of 20% ethanol-blended petrol this year and aims to cover the entire nation by 2025.
The Ethanol Blended Petrol Programme was launched in 2003 with the aim to promote the use of renewable and environmentally friendly fuels and reduce India’s import dependence on energy security.
Starting with 5% blending, the government has set a target of 10% ethanol blending by 2022 and 20% blending (E20) by 2030.
The programme is implemented in accordance with the National Policy on Biofuels.
Under this programme, oil marketing companies (OMCs) will procure ethanol from domestic sources at prices fixed by the government.
India's Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas published its “National Policy on Biofuels" in 2018 and further amended it in June 2022.
Ethanol is an organic chemical.
It is a simple alcohol with the chemical formula C2H6O.
