Can using E20 petrol lead to insurance claim rejection? What govt said

The Indian government clarified that using E20 petrol (a 20% ethanol blend) cannot be a valid reason for rejecting insurance claims. This statement was made by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas, responding to recent misinformation circulating online. The ministry addressed multiple misconceptions about E20 fuel, including claims that it causes engine damage or invalidates vehicle insurance policies. They stated these concerns lack scientific basis and emphasized that the Ethanol Blending Programme is backed by industry experts and follows strict quality standards. Since E20 was introduced in 2023, there have been no widespread reports of engine failures linked to ethanol blending.
