- India has announced a phased expansion of ethanol fuel infrastructure with 500 flex-fuel retail pumps by 2026 and 5,000 outlets by 2027.
- India achieved its E20 (20% Ethanol Blended Petrol) target in 2025, ahead of the planned 2030 deadline.
- Flex-fuel vehicles can run on different petrol-ethanol blends, including E20 and E85 (85% ethanol and 15% petrol).
- The first phase of the rollout will be implemented in Delhi-National Capital Region (NCR), Mumbai, Pune, and Nagpur.
- The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has proposed standards for E85, E100 (100% ethanol), and B100 (100% biodiesel) fuels.
