Aura? Retard has his wife sitting without a seatbelt, kid is sitting in the front seat on his mother's lap thinking the mother's hug will save him? Any respectable country would seem them as unworthy parents and get child services involved. Peak stupidity.

Applaud this work btw.. this was needed way. Now we all have solid evidence of cheating by @nitin_gadkari and @HardeepSPuri
Now @Mahindra_Auto @Maruti_Corp Where is your defense , you will go heavy on customers won’t you?? Sue the Govt now?
Under the direction of our Hon’ble Chief Minister Shri @DKShivakumar , the Department of Legal Metrology conducted inspections across Karnataka to verify ethanol blending levels in petrol.
At today’s press conference, shared the laboratory findings revealing 31.2% ethanol blending in IOCL and 30.5% in HPCL, exceeding 20%.
Raised serious concerns over transparency, regulatory compliance and consumers’ right to know what goes into their fuel.
ಮಾನ್ಯ ಮುಖ್ಯಮಂತ್ರಿಗಳಾದ ಶ್ರೀ ಡಿ.ಕೆ. ಶಿವಕುಮಾರ್ ಅವರ ನಿರ್ದೇಶನದಂತೆ, ಕಾನೂನು ಮಾಪನಶಾಸ್ತ್ರ ಇಲಾಖೆ ರಾಜ್ಯಾದ್ಯಂತ ಪೆಟ್ರೋಲ್‌ನಲ್ಲಿ ಎಥನಾಲ್ ಮಿಶ್ರಣದ ಪ್ರಮಾಣವನ್ನು ಪರಿಶೀಲಿಸಲು ತಪಾಸಣೆ ನಡೆಸಿತು.
ಇಂದು ಪತ್ರಿಕಾಗೋಷ್ಠಿಯಲ್ಲಿ ಪರೀಕ್ಷಾ ವರದಿಗಳನ್ನು ಹಂಚಿಕೊಂಡಿದ್ದು, IOCL ನಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇ.31.2 ಹಾಗೂ HPCL ನಲ್ಲಿ ಶೇ.30.5ರಷ್ಟು ಎಥನಾಲ್ ಮಿಶ್ರಣ ದಾಖಲಾಗಿರುವುದನ್ನು ತಿಳಿಸಿದೆ.
ತೈಲ ಕಂಪನಿಗಳ ಪಾರದರ್ಶಕತೆ, ನಿಯಮ ಪಾಲನೆ ಹಾಗೂ ಗ್ರಾಹಕರ ಹಕ್ಕುಗಳ ಕುರಿತು ಗಂಭೀರ ಪ್ರಶ್ನೆಗಳನ್ನು ಎತ್ತಲಾಯಿತು.

31% ethanol in petrol, but not a peep from Indian automotive YouTube journalists. The silence is deafening. Godi Media might actually have found some competition.

Petrol cars are getting killed. They are given slow death. 3L km worthy engines will die at 2L
They would have run with zero issues for 10 yrs but modern cars might show issues at 5-6th year.
This is by design. This is intentional.

Wow! My @instagram post about the E20 findings revealed at yesterday’s press conference by Karnataka Govt has been restricted in India.
Has anyone else faced similar restrictions for posting about ethanol-blended petrol? Are we now not even allowed to report on a state government’s findings? Who's behind the blocking orders?

File one defamation against the labs and those guys dude , yeah
Clarification on E20 petrol: claims of 26–31% ethanol at some Karnataka outlets are not based on prescribed testing. All 893 samples tested across 27 States & UTs, including 56 from Karnataka, were within the 19–21% range. Rely only on official sources.
BPCL, IOCL and HPCL have sought joint, transparent testing with the State Government. We remain committed to quality you can trust.
Please do not believe unverified claims. Rely only on official sources.

Protecting consumers from exploitation and ensuring accountability are our foremost responsibilities. The Department of Legal Metrology, led by Minister Shri @ArshadRizwan has conducted extensive inspections across Karnataka under Mission Nikhara. Independent laboratory tests have revealed alarming levels of ethanol blending in petrol samples from major oil companies, with some recording levels as high as 31.2%, well beyond the prescribed E20 limit.
While the Union Government speaks of the benefits of ethanol blending and energy security, it cannot turn a blind eye to the violation of E20 norms and blend more ethanol thereby imposing financial burden on ordinary citizens. Reduced mileage, potential vehicle damage and rising maintenance costs are concerns that deserve serious attention. It is unacceptable that consumers should bear the cost while oil companies continue to report substantial profits.
We demand that the Union Government:
1. Publicly disclose the actual ethanol content in petrol supplied across the country.
2. Initiate strict legal action against oil companies found exceeding the prescribed blending limits and make petrol pump level audit reports public.
3. Establish an E20 Damage Compensation Fund with a simple, time-bound mechanism to compensate affected vehicle owners.
4. Make disclosure of ethanol blending levels mandatory at every petrol station and ensure consumers have the choice of fuel suitable for their vehicles.
The Government of Karnataka will continue its inspections and stand firmly with consumers to ensure transparency, accountability and the right to quality fuel at every petrol station.

Govt's oil companies IOC, BPCL and HPCL reject Karnataka Govt's report about 31.2 % ethanol found in E20 petrol.
1. The oil companies have questioned 'testing methodology'.
2. They have also questioned the 'sampling methodology'
What they haven't revealed:
The state govt sent them the same samples first, which the oil companies tested but did NOT reveal ethanol percentage.
This is why the Karnataka Govt sent the samples to independent labs.
Both Shell and Nayara have not disputed the higher ethanol percentage claims.
Make of it what you will!

The govt has never been transparent on the entire ethanol issue.
ARAI reports - hidden
SIAM concerns - suppressed
Even the fuel dealers invoice now doesn't mention blending percentage. It only says EBMS.
Test results showing over 30% ethanol in supposed e20.
From hiding information, to outright fraud on citizens, this govt has certainly come a long way. @PetroleumMin @HardeepSPuri
#EthanolScam
@OGTeamBharat @tehseenp @Nidhzee @Shankyram2 @FactswithDinesh
Uh-oh. We've been getting E30 fuel in Bangalore, and not E20.
So, the Karnataka Govt tested samples across 63 oil retailers including both state-owned (IOC, HPCL, BPCL) and private retailers (Shell, Nayara)
* IOCL: 31.2%+
* HPCL: 30.5%
* BPCL: 26.5%
* Nayara: 26.1%
* Shell: 25.5%
IOC had a whopping 31 % ethanol. Shell had over 25 %.
This is BLATANT cheating!
1. We're not only paying more for inferior fuel but also getting lower mileage.
2. Older vehicles (classic cars and motorcycles) are getting damaged due to this.
What a terrible state of affairs @HardeepSPuri, @nitin_gadkari
The petroleum minister must be sacked. We've had enough!

Is this massive scam happening without your knowledge, @PetroleumMin? Or are you the mastermind behind it? How long will you continue to remain silent while consumers are being cheated?
BREAKING: Not E20 fuel , but E 31.2 fuel
Karnataka govt’s petrol tests find ethanol blending above 20% in samples from seven districts.
The state tested 63 petrol samples collected across Karnataka from major oil companies, including IOCL, HPCL, BPCL, Shell and Nayara.
After oil marketing companies failed to clearly disclose ethanol content, the government sent the samples to private labs.
Results of Ethanol blend :
IOCL: 31.2%+
HPCL: 30.5%
HPCL: 27%
BPCL: 26.5%
Nayara: 26.1%
Shell: 25.5%
Bengaluru was among the seven districts where samples exceeded the 20% ethanol limit.
Karnataka will send its report to the Centre.

Minister for Food, Civil Supplies and Consumer Affairs of Karnataka @ArshadRizwan alleges that tests on petrol samples from seven Karnataka districts found ethanol levels above 20%, with IOCL and HPCL samples recording 31.2% and 30.5%. Calling it a breach of public trust, he has demanded action against oil companies, an E20 compensation fund for consumers affected by reduced mileage and vehicle damage and mandatory disclosure of ethanol content at petrol pumps.
