The Centre informs the Supreme Court that the 20% ethanol blending programme is still in an experimental phase and that its effects will become clearer next year. Attorney General R. Venkataramani makes the submission during a hearing concerning the allocation of ethanol supply. He argues that judicial intervention in the allocation process at this stage could disrupt the government’s national ethanol blending policy. According to the Centre, the programme’s performance and impact have not yet been fully established, and therefore the government seeks to continue with the current approach until clearer results are available. The submissions are reported following the ongoing court proceedings related to how ethanol is allocated for blending under the national policy. The matter is heard in the context of challenges to or concerns about the allocation process, with the Centre maintaining that any court-ordered changes now could unsettle implementation. The next phase, the government indicates, will provide more definitive information about outcomes and feasibility as the programme progresses.
