Union minister Nitin Gadkari has pushed back against concerns that ethanol-blended petrol can damage vehicles, challenging critics to produce evidence of vehicles being affected by the fuel.
Speaking at the inaugural session of the Bihar Investor Summit 2026, Gadkari defended the Centre's ethanol-blending programme and said the policy was aimed not only at reducing dependence on conventional fuels but also at creating a new market for agricultural produce, PTI reported.
