Petroleum ministry 'E20 petrol passes nationwide quality checks'

Consumers should continue to use E20 petrol with confidence, as the fuel supplied through the OMC network conforms to the prescribed quality specifications and is backed by robust quality assurance and monitoring systems designed to safeguard consumer interests at every stage of the supply chain, the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas said on Saturday.

In a statement, the ministry said that amid recent media reports on moisture and chloride in



EBMS (E20 Petrol), OMCs carried out a nationwide additional intensive testing covering the entire EBMS supply chain.

“The findings reaffirm that fuel quality remains consistently well within prescribed limits. Contrary to certain assertions being made, based on extensive random testing through scientifically designed tests, the evidence shows that there is no cause for any alarm on account of fuel contamination,” according to an official statement.
