Supreme Court to Hear Plea on Ethanol Disclosure in Petrol
· India · Hindustan Times, The Hindu
The Supreme Court will hear a petition on August 31 seeking mandatory labelling of ethanol content at all petrol pump nozzles. Petitioner Narendra Kumar Goswami has requested that fuel invoices clearly state the percentage of ethanol in the petrol sold. The plea also seeks an independent expert committee to evaluate vehicle compatibility, fuel efficiency, and the environmental impact of E20 blending. Additionally, the petition asks for a transparent transition framework for legacy vehicles that are not compatible with higher ethanol blends.
Why it matters
This case could lead to new consumer protection protocols and transparency requirements for the nationwide ethanol-blending programme, affecting millions of vehicle owners.
