India proposed rules late Tuesday to permit E85 and E100 fuel blends, allowing vehicles to run on up to 100% ethanol. The draft amendments follow the 2025 achievement of a 20% ethanol blending target in petrol across the country. Expanding domestic ethanol capacity reduces reliance on Brent Crude Oil.
