    New Delhi: India imports about 85 per cent of its crude oil requirement. A lot of money of the country goes in its import. To reduce this burden, the government is finding new ways. Expressways are being built in the country which will save time, fuel consumption and at the same time protect the environment. Along with this, the government has also made an ambitious plan to mix ethanol in petrol. The target of 10 per cent blending of ethanol in petrol was achieved five months in advance. Now preparations are on to increase it to 20 per cent. Prime Minister Narendra Modi will launch the sale of E20 petrol (20 per cent ethanol blended petrol) at the India Energy Week in Bengaluru on Monday. Along with this, its sale will start on a pilot basis at 67 petrol pumps in the country. This will reduce the import of oil as well as reduce the emission of vehicles.

    India Energy Week is being organized in Bengaluru from 6 to 8 February. An official said that the Prime Minister will start selling it by pressing the nozzle. With this, its sale will start on pilot basis at 67 petrol pumps across the country. He said that in the year 2014, 1.4 percent ethanol blending in petrol was started. The target of 10 per cent blending was set for November 2022 but it was achieved five months earlier. The original target of 20 per cent blending was 2030 but it was first changed to 2025 and now to 2023. We are launching it in the market several months ago.
