The state of Karnataka has announced that the ethanol concentration in petrol has reached 31.2%, exceeding the national blending target of 15% set for 2025.
Karnataka has reported that the ethanol content in petrol sold across the state has climbed to 31.2%, according to a statement released by the state’s fuel quality monitoring unit.
The figure surpasses the national target of 15% ethanol blending that the Indian government aims to achieve by 2025.
