India proposes rules to allow higher ethanol-blended fuels in vehicles
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said the draft includes provisions for E85 fuel, a blend of 85% ethanol with petrol, and E100, which would allow vehicles to run on nearly pure ethanol. The draft rules have been opened for public comments, after which the government will take a final decision.

India issued a notification late on Tuesday proposing amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules to formally incorporate higher ethanol-blended fuels. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways said the draft includes provisions for E85 fuel, a blend of 85% ethanol with petrol, and E100, which would allow vehicles to run on nearly pure ethanol.
The draft rules have been opened for public comments, after which the government will take a final decision. India achieved its target of 20% ethanol blending (E20) in petrol in 2025 and is now looking to increase blending further to reduce costly imports of petroleum products.
