Delhi transport unions plan ‘E-20’ protest march to Parliament on August 4
Delhi-based transport unions have announced a protest march to Parliament on August 4 to demand the withdrawal of mandatory ethanol-blended petrol. They argue that the fuel damages vehicle engines and should be offered as an optional choice rather than a mandate.
Why it matters
The protest reflects growing consumer and industry concern over the government's E20 fuel policy and its impact on vehicle longevity and operational costs.
