Oil min to ensure 5% ethanol blending by OMCs [1]

The government today asked the petroleum ministry to ensure that oil companies compulsorily sold petrol mixed with 5 per cent ethanol.

The government had in November 2006 mandated that ethanol should be blended in a 5 per cent proportion with petrol to be sold throughout India, except in areas like North-Eastern states and Jammu and Kashmir.
