Arvind Kejriwal, national convenor of the Aam Aadmi Party (AAP), spoke with staff at a petrol pump and service station in New Delhi on 11 July 2026 to directly assess on-ground concerns linked to E20 ethanol-blended fuel.
Kejriwal interacted with motorists at the fuel station, reportedly listening to complaints that E20 fuel — which blends 20% ethanol with petrol — has led to reduced mileage and engine-related issues in their vehicles.
E20 fuel is a blend of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol rolled out under India's national ethanol-blending programme. Motorists have reportedly raised concerns about reduced fuel efficiency and compatibility issues with older vehicles.
At a New Delhi service station on 11 July 2026, Kejriwal engaged with technicians to understand the mechanical impact of E20 ethanol-blended fuel on vehicles — part of AAP's broader scrutiny of the Centre's fuel-blending policy.
