Existing models that were not originally developed for E30 fuel cannot…

For an import-dependent economy like India, which relies heavily on…

Additionally, the directive clamps down on retail diesel sales by capping purchases at 200 litres per customer or vehicle per day, mandating that the fuel can only be dispensed directly into vehicle tanks or specialized, government-approved containers with a strict ban on resale. This decisive regulatory intervention was triggered…
