Why this matters

E20 fuel, a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol, is part of India's efforts to reduce crude oil imports and lower carbon emissions. However, concerns exist regarding its potential impact on older vehicles, fuel efficiency, and food security due to increased demand for ethanol production. Kejriwal's protest highlights growing public and political opposition to the rapid rollout of E20.
