Addressing concerns, he clarified that E20 petrol—a blend of 20% ethanol with petrol—is completely safe. He emphasized that the fuel has been thoroughly tested and approved by government regulatory bodies as well as automobile companies.

However, campaigns alleging that vehicles running on E20 petrol suffer reduced mileage have gained traction online, raising doubts among the public. Gadkari countered these claims, stating that the government’s push for ethanol is aimed at reducing dependence on fossil fuels, cutting pollution, and supporting farmers. He called on citizens to trust verified information rather than politically motivated narratives.
