Name any car that faced issues due to ethanol-blended petrol: Nitin Gadkari

Union Minister Nitin Gadkari challenged critics to name any car facing issues with E20 petrol. He stated that India's fossil fuel dependence is an economic and environmental burden. Higher ethanol blends reduce reliance on imported crude oil and cut carbon emissions. Ethanol production from corn has generated significant income for farmers in Uttar Pradesh and Bihar. The ministry is proposing wider use of alternative fuels like E85 and E100.
