Centre Scraps Excise Duty on High-Ethanol Petrol

In a major push for cleaner energy, the Central Government has waived excise duty on petrol blended with 22% to 30% ethanol. The decision aims to promote higher ethanol usage, reduce dependence on imported crude oil, and support India’s long-term energy security goals. The exemption covers E22, E25, E27, and E30 fuel blends.
