E100 fuel gets govt nod, paving way for cars running on 100% ethanol, govt amends motor vehicle rules

The ministry of road transport and highways (MoRTH) has notified amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, adding E100 as an approved fuel option alongside E85 for flex-fuel vehicles.

A senior road transport ministry official was quoted as saying by news agency PTI that fuel beyond E20 (20 per cent ethanol-blended petrol) and up to E100 is intended only for vehicles designed and certified to use it and will not be applicable for other vehicles.

The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has also altered certain vehicle classification thresholds, fuel specifications, and technical references used in emission-related tables and testing provisions. The government also raised the vehicle weight limit to 3,500 kg from the previous threshold of 3,000 kg for light petrol and diesel vehicles affected by these changes.

🇦🇿 Azerbaijan exported 524,337.96 tonnes of crude oil to India in January–September 2026, a 4.9-fold increase compared with the same period last year.

This is one of the clearest signs of the normalization of bilateral relations and demonstrates that the process had already begun before Indian Foreign Minister S. Jaishankar's visit to Baku in October.

Bilateral trade between the two countries amounted to $401 million last year, compared with the peak of $1.8 billion recorded in 2022. There is significant potential for trade to recover to, and even surpass, that level in the near future. Bilateral trade had already exceeded $600 million in the first nine months of this year.
