What is the whole matter?
Let us tell you that it was claimed in many media reports on Saturday that Bhutan has rejected the proposal of Indian oil companies to supply E20 petrol. Reports said that Bhutan has expressed concern that India’s fuel storage infrastructure is outdated. Also, ethanol-blended fuel is not suitable for the hilly areas of Bhutan. However, now the government has made the picture completely clear.
What other claims were made in the report?
According to a report in ‘The Bhutanese’, Bhutan had requested India to continue supplying normal petrol as long as it is available in the Indian market. Quoting experts, it was also written in the report that there is a danger of water seepage in old tanks, which can deteriorate the quality of the fuel, because ethanol easily absorbs moisture.
