India’s Supreme Court has dismissed a petition against the rollout of 20% ethanol-blended fuel (E20), reinforcing the government’s clean energy goals. The move supports farmers supplying sugarcane for ethanol and reduces reliance on crude oil imports. Industry groups assured that while older vehicles may see slightly lower mileage, E20 remains safe to use, marking a key step in India’s transition to sustainable mobility. The rollout also positions India as a leader in adopting alternative fuels, contributing to lower greenhouse gas emissions and helping meet national targets for cleaner energy and sustainable growth.
