Bharat Petroleum publicly rejected Karnataka's assertion that it would supply E20 fuel, backing its stance with data, and subsequently removed a tweet on the matter.
Bharat Petroleum (BPCL) issued a statement denying Karnataka's claim that the company would roll out E20 fuel in the state. The oil marketing firm said the allegation was unfounded and presented factual data to support its position.
In its response, BPCL highlighted that its current fuel portfolio and supply chain do not include the proposed E20 blend for Karnataka at this time. The company emphasized that any change in fuel composition would be communicated through official channels and would require regulatory clearances.
Following the statement, a BPCL tweet that referenced the E20 discussion was deleted from its official Twitter handle. The removal sparked brief speculation on social media, but the company did not issue a further comment on the tweet's withdrawal.
State officials have not yet responded publicly to BPCL's denial, and the issue remains limited to the corporate clarification and the subsequent tweet deletion.
