OMCs refute Karnataka’s E20 report, seeks additional details about procedure
The state-owned OMCs held the 56 samples tested by them from across the state reported an average 19.3% ethanol content in the vehicular fuel.
Three state-owned oil-marketing companies (OMCs) have refuted Karnataka's claims about ethanol blend levels in petrol reaching as high as 31% in the state. The OMCs assert that the tests conducted to reach this conclusion were not carried out following the proper statutory and technical procedure. They have called upon the Karnataka government to provide complete sample documentation, laboratory reports, and details about the testing methodology used. The OMCs also requested samples for retesting to ensure accuracy.
