Even NDA Voters Oppose E20 Petrol! C-Voter Survey Reveals Startling Figures
Even NDA Voters Oppose E20 Petrol! C-Voter Survey Reveals Startling Figures
Lukewarm public response to the government's E20 policy; 53% of NDA supporters also dissatisfied.
New Delhi, July 13, 2026: The central government has been promoting E20 petrol—a blend containing 20% ??ethanol—across the country. The government claims this will reduce crude oil imports, lower pollution, and benefit sugarcane farmers. However, a recent survey by C-Voter has revealed a surprising trend: a large number of people are unwilling to use E20 petrol.
Key Highlights (C-Voter Survey Data):
Among the general population: 55.1% stated they do not wish to use E20 petrol, while only 17.1% expressed support.
Among NDA supporters: 52.5% (approximately 53%) are unwilling to use E20; only 18.1% support it.
Opposition supporters: 57.9% oppose it.
Primary Public Concerns:
Reduced vehicle mileage (52.8% of respondents).
Potential engine damage (54.2% of respondents).
Unfair impact on owners of older vehicles (56.3% of respondents).
Response to the Ethanol Blending Policy:
52% of people oppose the government policy.
48.2% of NDA supporters also oppose it.
What Do People Want?
75.9% of people believe that both E20 and regular petrol should be available in the market, allowing consumers to make their own choice.
Even if E20 were cheaper, only 40.8% of people would use it; the rest would not.
This survey was conducted on July 8 and 9 using the CATI method, covering 1,641 people. The margin of error is ±3%.
Union Minister Nitin Gadkari had previously challenged those opposing E20, but the debate has intensified due to the survey findings and the experiences shared by various YouTubers and vloggers. Conclusion: The government's environment and energy security policy has yet to win public confidence. There is growing demand to provide options instead of making E20 petrol mandatory.
