Government debunks myths about E20 fuel and outlines its benefits

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has responded to a series of social‑media videos that alleged E20 could introduce water into fuel tanks or that the programme was a court‑ordered experiment. Official statements clarify that modern vehicles are equipped with fuel‑system safeguards that prevent water ingress, regardless of fuel type, and that the Supreme Court case dealt only with contract and allocation issues, never labeling the programme a "trial". Internationally, Brazil mandates E27 and is moving toward 35 % blends, while the U.S. routinely sells E10 and higher blends. India’s E20 roll‑out aligns with these global practices.
