In this episode of Kharcha Pani, we break down the latest questions raised in Parliament over India’s ethanol blending programme. Why did the Food Corporation of India (FCI) sell rice to ethanol distilleries at prices significantly lower than its acquisition cost? Does this amount to a loss for the government, and what is the government’s explanation? We also examine the Rajya Sabha replies on E20 petrol, including whether the government assessed how many vehicles are fully E20-compliant before the nationwide rollout, what it says about mileage, engine performance, and emissions, and why it believes ethanol blending is essential for reducing crude oil imports and strengthening energy security. Backed by official parliamentary replies, government data, and expert analysis, this episode explains the facts, the debate, and what they mean for taxpayers and vehicle owners.
