India Clears E100 Fuel Framework, Accelerating Ethanol Vehicle Rollout and Impor

The move, announced by Union Minister Nitin Gadkari, aims to reduce India's dependence on imported crude oil (over 85% imports) and create new demand for agricultural feedstocks, while giving automakers regulatory certainty to invest in flex-fuel platforms.
