VIDEO | Delhi: Gaurav Moda, Partner and Leader – Energy Sector, EY-Parthenon India, on nationwide rollout of E20 fuel, says, "With regard to E20, we have already implemented E10 in the past, and increasingly we are now getting to E20. If you look at, everyone knows that India imports 80-85% of its crude oil from outside other countries. But if you look at the breakup of how the crude oil is used, almost 25% of the crude oil goes into petrol. The other part goes into diesel, kerosene, ATF, LPG. And this E20 being focused on this 25% means 5% of all crude oil, which is 25% petrol into 20% of that, we are going to save 5% of global imports, potentially, of crude oil because of this initiative. Given how the crude prices are going and geopolitics around them, every time and again, it's very important that India builds more self-dependence and in that context, this initiative is a positive movement."
