PoliticsPhoto: Deccan HeraldKarnataka Questions OMCs on Excess Ethanol Blending in Petrol
Karnataka Minister Rizwan Arshad accused oil marketing companies (OMCs) of blending more than the allowed 20% ethanol in petrol. The state government tested 63 petrol samples from across Karnataka, but OMCs' labs did not report ethanol percentages. After OMCs refused joint inspections and clear reports, the government turned to third-party labs, which OMCs now dispute. The government stands by its findings and challenges OMCs to clarify ethanol content.
