Confirmed facts

Each fact is a sentence from a source that at least two independent outlets report.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) notified the amendments to the 1989 Rules on October 23, incorporating E100 alongside E85 in the rules governing vehicle emission standards, fuel specifications and testing procedures.
According to the notification, vehicles designed and certified for high-ethanol blends can use E85 and E100 fuels.
Conventional petrol vehicles, including those running on the nationwide E20 blend (20% ethanol, 80% petrol), cannot operate on these higher blends without proper certification.
