India’s first flex-fuel passenger vehicle launched by Maruti Suzuki
In India, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Shri Hardeep Singh Puri has launched India’s first flex-fuel passenger vehicle by Maruti Suzuki in New Delhi, fuelling the vision of Aatma Nirbhar Bharat. Union Minister for Road, Transport and Highways, Sh. Nitin Gadkari was also present during the event. Flex-fuel vehicles can operate on a range of ethanol–petrol blends, from E20 up to E100.
Speaking at the launch, the Minister said the entry of flex-fuel technology into the passenger vehicle segment is not merely a product launch, but also the beginning of a new chapter in India’s energy transition. Shri Puri noted that India has nearly 37 lakh passenger vehicles representing the aspirations of middle-class India and the future of personal mobility. Large-scale adoption of flex-fuel technology in this segment can significantly multiply the impact of ethanol-based mobility.
