What happened
The government issued a response to public allegations and concerns connected to E20 petrol implementation.

The government denied the coercion allegation and clarified its position on information disclosure.
Background and earlier position
E20 petrol refers to petrol blended with ethanol. During ethanol-blending roll-outs, stakeholder compliance and clear communication shape whether participants treat policy obligations as voluntary and whether relevant information remains accessible and understandable.
What changed now
The government’s response addressed two categories of public claims linked to E20 petrol implementation: (1) allegations that borrowers faced coercive pressure and (2) allegations about information disclosure practices. The government stated that there is no coercive pressure on borrowers. The government also clarified its information disclosure position connected to E20 petrol implementation.
