Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Hardeep Singh Puri launched E85 fuel at an IndianOil retail outlet in New Delhi on Friday (June 5) on the occasion of World Environment Day 2026.

E85 is a high-ethanol blended fuel comprising 80–85% ethanol and 14–19% petrol, specifically designed for use in flex-fuel vehicles, not for normal petrol vehicles.

The initiative aims to facilitate the adoption of Flex-Fuel Vehicles (FFVs), which are capable of operating on ethanol blends from E20 to E100.

The rollout commences across 48 Public Sector OMC’s retail outlets (ROs) in the country, enabling flex-fuel vehicle users to access this cleaner fuel.

The initiative is slated for nationwide expansion. The same would be scaled up to 500 ROs by December 2026 and about 5,000 ROs by December 2027 and help raise India’s aggregate ethanol blending levels to nearly 26% by 2030-31.

Speaking at the event, the Minister said that ethanol blending has increased from 1.53% in 2014 to 20% today, with the target achieved five years ahead of schedule, he stated that this transformation has helped save over Rs 1.84 lakh crore in foreign exchange and substituted nearly 302 lakh metric tonnes of crude oil imports.

Some benefits of E85 listed by Govt:

- E85 is priced nearly Rs 20 per litre lower than conventional petrol.

- Flex-fuel vehicles operating on E85 can reduce lifecycle greenhouse gas emissions by around 61% compared to conventional petrol vehicles.

- With a Research Octane Number (RON) of about 108, ethanol offers superior knock resistance that allows engines to operate at higher compression ratios and optimized ignition timing.

- Higher ethanol blends promote cleaner and more complete combustion, resulting in near-zero particulate matter emissions.

Elaborating further, the Minister stated that if 50% of new two-wheelers and four-wheelers transition to flex-fuel vehicles, it could generate demand for over 312 crore litres of ethanol and result in nearly Rs 12,403 crore flowing directly to farmers.

He added that such a transition could also lead to annual foreign exchange savings of nearly Rs 15,151 crore and reduction of CO2 emissions by 66.4 lakh metric tonnes.
