As per the Roadmap, a successful E20 program can save the country about 4 billion US Dollar (USD) per annum.

The Government has already achieved the target of 10 per cent average blending of ethanol in Petrol in the country under Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme in June, 2022 i.e. five months ahead of the target of November, 2022.
