Centre Waives Excise Duty On Higher Ethanol-Blended Petrol To Boost Green Fuel Push

The Centre has exempted excise duty on petrol blends with 22% to 30% ethanol (E22 to E30) to accelerate India's shift to cleaner fuels and reduce reliance on crude oil imports. This move aims to enhance ethanol use beyond the E20 program, encouraging oil companies to distribute these blends effectively.
