What happened

Some supportReported by 1 outlet

Karnataka sent 63 fuel samples collected from various districts to a certified private laboratory for testing. This action followed the state's request for details on the ethanol content in the samples, which oil marketing companies did not provide. The petrol, which is now sold across India's fuel retail network, has drawn criticism over its potential impact on mileage and compatibility with older vehicles.
