Gadkari says 100% ethanol car launching in October
Union Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari announced at a Delhi event that a car powered entirely by ethanol will launch in October, requiring no petrol. Speaking about the car's running cost, Gadkari stated it would be comparable to a petrol car using fuel at around Rs 25 per litre. He defended the government's E20 ethanol blending policy, which has faced criticism in Parliament and on social media, asserting that no complaints have been received about ethanol blended fuel in India.
The minister also revealed that Toyota's Innova flex-fuel car, designed to run on 100% ethanol, will be launched in October.
