The Indian government has announced a complete excise duty waiver on high-ethanol blended petrol (22% to 30% ethanol). This decision aims to reduce dependency on imported crude oil amid global energy market instability and rising prices. The move is expected to promote cleaner fuel, lower carbon emissions, and benefit farmers by increasing demand for crops like sugarcane and maize used in ethanol production. While immediate retail prices for regular petrol remain unchanged, this policy strengthens the infrastructure for sustainable and cheaper fuel alternatives in India. https://www.dharitri.com/india-has-removed-excise-duty-on-petrol-with-higher-ethanol/ #creator program
