The Oil Minister of India announced that flex fuel, a high-ethanol blended fuel comprising 80-85% ethanol and 14-19% petrol, will be priced ₹20 per litre cheaper than E20 petrol. This move is expected to promote the adoption of alternative fuels in the Indian market, contributing to energy diversification and environmental sustainability. The pricing difference highlights the government's focus on encouraging cleaner fuel options and reducing dependence on conventional petrol. The announcement aligns with India's broader goals to increase ethanol blending in fuels and support the biofuel industry. E85 is a high-ethanol blended fuel comprising 80–85 per cent ethanol and 14–19 per cent petrol.
