Can E20 Damage Your Car? The Big Ethanol Debate

Should consumers be given a choice between regular petrol and E20 ethanol-blended fuel? Does E20 significantly reduce mileage? And should India focus on electric vehicles instead of higher ethanol blending?

In a heated discussion on The Buck Stops Here, Tushar Gupta and Sanjay Jha debate the key issues surrounding India's ethanol policy.

Tushar Gupta argues that mileage depends largely on driving style and vehicle maintenance, supports ethanol blending as a way to reduce India's crude oil import bill, and cautions against replacing one dependency with another by relying heavily on imported EV battery materials.
