BusinessPhoto: Prabhat KhabarKarnataka Finds Up to 31% Ethanol in E20 Petrol Samples, Possible Legal Violation
Karnataka government tested ethanol blending in E20 petrol samples from 7 districts, sending 14 samples to labs. Results showed 11 samples contained more than the 20% ethanol limit, with some reaching 31-32%. This exceeds BIS standards and may violate laws under the Essential Commodities Act and Petroleum Rules. Such adulteration risks vehicle damage and breaches consumer rights without official approval or warnings.
