At the annual conference of the Automobile Manufacturers Society, Gadkari was asked questions about the E20 fuel concerns. Gadkari said, there is a lobby everywhere, he has some own interests. The rumor about the E20 fuel is spreading petrol lobby. Let us tell you that it is being said about the E20 fuel that the mileage of the vehicles is decreasing. While the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has already made it clear that it is being exaggerated.
Earlier, a PIL was filed in the Supreme Court, in which the demand was raised that ethanol mixed petrol should also be found at petrol pumps and ethanol -free petrol should also be found so that people have the option to take which petrol for their car. However, the petition was rejected by a bench headed by Chief Justice BR Gavai. The bench said that there is no need for intervention in this matter. Along with this, the court also said that it is necessary to reduce the import of crude oil and reduce increasing pollution.
