The debate around E10 petrol is back in the spotlight after BPCL Chairman and Managing Director Sanjay Khanna said the company was looking into the possibility of offering a lower-ethanol fuel option. However, the remarks were later clarified, with BPCL maintaining that there is no proposal to replace the existing E20 petrol with E10.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
BPCL had indicated that it was examining whether E10 petrol could be made available, particularly as an option for older vehicles. The company said various aspects, including the feasibility and logistics of introducing a lower-ethanol blend, were being looked into, but nothing had been finalised.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A few hours later, BPCL clarified that its comments had been misinterpreted. The company stressed that there is no plan to replace E20 with E10. According to BPCL, the discussion was around whether owners of older vehicles could potentially be offered a lower-ethanol fuel option – not about rolling back the country’s existing E20 fuel programme.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
For now, there is no final decision. A petroleum ministry official also said the government has no plans to introduce E10 fuel and remains focused on the current E20 programme. While the possibility of a lower-ethanol option for older vehicles has sparked discussion, consumers will have to wait for any official policy decision. Until then, E20 remains the standard petrol blend in focus.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
