India will achieve blending 20% ethanol in petrol by mid-March, reducing pollution and oil imports.

India is set to meet its goal of blending 20% ethanol in petrol within two months, as announced by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari. Initiated in 2001, this practice aims to decrease pollution and reduce dependence on imported oil. Ethanol, sourced from sugarcane and other crops, can significantly lower carbon monoxide emissions. Major car manufacturers are now producing vehicles capable of running on 100% bio-ethanol.
