Mandatory ethanol mix in petrol to miss Oct deadline

Ajay Modi / New Delhi July 30, 2008, 0:03 IST The introduction of 10 per cent mandatory blending of ethanol with petrol is unlikely to happen from this October, as decided by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) in October 2007. The government has not notified the decision and the oil marketing companies are yet to float tenders for procuring the additional quantities of ethanol.
