Vijendra Singh, President of the All India Distillers' Association (AIDA), has called for the commercialisation of flex-fuel vehicles to address India's energy crisis. Speaking at the AIDA Annual Distillers' Conclave 2026, Singh stated, "Imagine that many vehicles will run on ethanol, no petrol required, so all problems solved." He proposed increasing the ethanol blending limit from 20% to 30% gradually, noting that substituting an additional 10% of petrol with ethanol is already a proven success in Brazil. Singh highlighted that Indian manufacturers like Maruti Suzuki and Bajaj Auto are ready with prototypes but require government policy support and tax relief to scale production. He emphasised that flex-fuel technology is not "rocket science" and can be implemented for both two-wheelers and four-wheelers. According to Singh, the industry is prepared to support the nation by providing sustainable solutions that reduce reliance on petrol imports and boost the domestic ethanol economy.
