Oil marketing companies (OMCs) reject claims that E20 petrol contains unusually high chloride levels, saying there is “no evidence of alarm.” They state that chloride measurements from tests across the E20 supply chain do not show values exceeding prescribed limits.
According to the companies, nationwide checks include testing at refineries, distilleries, terminals, and retail outlets. The OMCs say the results are within regulatory specifications, directly addressing public concerns raised by external claims. Across the reporting, the central point is consistent: the OMCs’ position is based on internal monitoring and sampling, while the disputed claims allege higher-than-acceptable chloride content.
The differing emphasis lies mainly in framing—claims prompt concern over fuel quality, while the OMCs respond by citing measured compliance—rather than any disagreement about the testing locations themselves. In the accounts provided, all outlets describe the same dispute and the companies’ rebuttal using test data.
