The record
Written from the 6 reports below. Nothing here is unsourced.
- Transport bodies in Delhi, led by the Delhi Taxi and Tourist Transporters and Tour Operators Association, plan a protest march to Parliament on August 4 demanding withdrawal of the mandatory E20 ethanol-blended petrol policy.
- The organisers say vehicle problems linked to ethanol blending are being reported nationwide and want MPs to take notice, while distancing the protest from online campaigns like the 'E-20 Janta Party' and Cockroach Janta Party.
- Separately, Tehseen Poonawalla's Instagram account was suspended shortly before he planned a car march against the E20 policy.
- The government maintains E20 fuel is safe, cleaner and beneficial for farmers, and says it has no immediate plans to raise blending beyond 20%.
What to watch next
- Whether the August 4 march to Parliament takes place as planned
- Any government response or policy change on mandatory E20 fuel
- Whether the All India Motor Transport Congress escalates by calling a strike
