Government tightens ethanol blend rules for OMCs

The government is contemplating the enforcement of mandatory chloride contamination limits for E20 petrol. Automakers have expressed worries over fuel quality and its potential effects on vehicle components. Presently, the chloride contamination thresholds are merely part of voluntary standards for ethanol-blended petrol. The Bureau of Indian Standards is striving to implement these requirements as mandatory. This initiative aims to elevate the quality standards of automotive fuels across the country.
