Raj Kumar, a mechanic from Punjab claimed that E20 or Ethanol-blended petrol is causing issues for vehicle owners. Kumar said he receives at least two-three cases of complaints in a day due to the issue. He appealed to the government to resolve the issue at the earliest. Meanwhile, Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari dismissed reports on E20 fuel damaging vehicle engines. Gadkari said the claims were based on misinformation and that the government did not receive any complaints.

Researchers at IIT Kanpur announced on July 14 that their studies found no significant drop in fuel efficiency and 'no evidence' that E20 harms engines in either new or older vehicles. These findings follow a clarification from the Oil Ministry last week, which stated that E20 can reduce mileage by up to 5 per cent in certain vehicles, while the impact is heavily outweighed by benefits, including lower lifecycle carbon emissions.
