The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas publishes national figures for the E20 programme. These figures do not predict an individual car’s mileage, running cost or emissions.

Published national estimates

The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas reports national estimates for crude substitution and foreign-exchange savings through ethanol blending.

These are programme-level figures. They do not establish a saving for an individual driver or household.

Feedstock examples

Published project information identifies sugar streams, grain and agricultural residues as ethanol feedstocks. Bargarh rice straw and Numaligarh bamboo are two cited project examples.

The source document should be used for project scope and reported payment figures.

What a driver can check

For an individual car, the useful checks are its model-year manufacturer guidance, the fuel grade in the owner’s manual, and a complete fill-to-fill mileage record.
