Is Nitin Gadkari doing the right thing?

I bought a moped that is E20 compliant in 2024, and now he is saying that ethanol blending shall be increased to 27% by 2027 (E27).

Certainly, if my moped would have been okay with E27 fuel, the brand would have said that it is upto E30 compliant, and not just E20.

Are we supposed to keep buying a new moped every 2-3 years? And, who is gonna buy the older ones?

Gadkari's sugar mills are making a lot of money selling all the ethanol to Oil Companies.

This is what happens when a politician is trusted.

Strange part is no reporter is asking these valid questions. What if insurance coverage becomes void because of non-compliant petrol in my moped? There is no option to choose from at petrol pump.

Gadkari will wash his hands off this mess, he will simply blame the Insurers, the common man can keep running from pillar to post.

We live in a country where you pay road tax for 15 yrs and the vehicle gets scrapped in 10. Anything and everything is just to fill the govts pockets

Older cars and bikes can be sold at Junkyard at scrap prices.

Yes, I myself won't buy an E20 compliant 2-wheeler in 2027 when E27 petrol is the new norm. Why would anyone else?

Biggest scam ever… set up an ethanol factory and now we’re the ones paying the price. If E20 is compulsory, why isn’t fuel cheaper? What about cars not built for E20 — engine issues, complaints, wastage? Feels like everyone’s just running their business for personal profit. #E20PetrolScam #NitinGadkari
