The government also dismissed claims that ethanol-blended petrol causes widespread engine damage or attracts insects, saying such assertions have no scientific basis.<span class=\"id-r-component br\" data-pos=\"14\"\/>According to the ministry, the Ethanol Blending Programme is scientifically validated and is implemented in consultation with oil marketing companies, automobile manufacturers and fuel-testing agencies. Since the rollout of E20 petrol in 2023, it said there have been no widespread reports of engine failures or vehicle breakdowns attributable to ethanol blending.<span class=\"id-r-component br\"
