Hardeep Singh Puri has slammed social media posts with wrong information on E20 fuel
The government has been promoting ethanol blending as part of its strategy to reduce crude oil imports, lower carbon emissions and support the domestic agricultural economy. E20 fuel, which is a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol, is being promoted as a cleaner and more sustainable alternative to traditional fuels. However, some people have been spreading misinformation about the negative effects of E20 fuel. Some have claimed that using E20 fuel increases the lifespan of cars, while in reality, it actually decreases it. The government's promotion of E20 fuel is part of its efforts to reduce reliance on crude oil imports and decrease carbon emissions. The use of E20 fuel has also been shown to support the domestic agricultural economy by providing a market for ethanol.
