Oil Marketing Companies Reject E20 Petrol Contamination Claims

Public Sector Oil Marketing Companies (OMCs) have confirmed that nationwide quality tests show E20 petrol meets all safety standards, effectively rejecting claims of fuel contamination.

The tests were conducted following consumer complaints regarding potential engine damage, with OMCs stating that the 20% ethanol blend remains safe for compliant vehicle engines.

The government continues to push for ethanol blending to reduce fuel import costs, despite ongoing concerns from some consumer groups and sugar mill operators regarding supply chain stability.
