Karnataka Flags Petrol with Ethanol Blend Exceeding E20 Limit, Calls for Probe

The Karnataka government has identified petrol supplies that contain an ethanol blend higher than the permissible E20 limit. The state authorities have issued a warning to the concerned parties and have requested a formal investigation into the compliance of fuel suppliers. The E20 limit is the maximum percentage of ethanol allowed in petrol under current regulations. By flagging the non-compliant petrol, the government aims to enforce fuel quality standards and protect consumers. The investigation will determine whether the suppliers have breached the legal limits and what corrective actions are required.
