Nitin Gadkari Defends E20 Fuel, Challenges Claims of Vehicle Damage

Nitin Gadkari has strongly defended the use of E20 ethanol-blended petrol amid concerns over its impact on vehicle components. Responding to claims that E20 fuel could damage rubber parts in a vehicle's fuel system, the Union Minister challenged critics to present a single verified case of a car being damaged because of the fuel. His remarks came as debates over ethanol-blended fuel continue to gain attention across the country.

Gadkari emphasized that allegations should be backed by credible evidence rather than speculation. His comments have reignited discussions on India's push towards cleaner and more sustainable biofuels as part of its long-term energy strategy. Supporters of ethanol-blended fuel welcomed his statement, arguing that the transition to alternative fuels should be guided by scientific data and verified facts instead of misinformation.
