What is Union govt’s ethanol blending programme; 10 things to know about it
A plea has been filed in the Supreme Court challenging the Union Government’s Ethanol Blending Programme (EBP), which mandates the sale of petrol blended with 20% ethanol (E20).
The petitioner, an Advocate named Akshay Malhotra, argued that eliminating the option of ethanol-free petrol (E0) altogether, violates the fundamental rights of millions of vehicle owners whose vehicles are not compatible with the higher ethanol blend, according to a report by Livelaw.
