What They Don't Tell You About Ethanol Fuel, EVs & Bharat NCAP Crash Tests

In conversation with ‪@TheRaceMonkey‬ India’s push for Ethanol-blended fuel about the environment, or is it about something far more personal? Today on Internal Combustion, we sit down with one of India's most outspoken and "brutally true" automotive journalists to peel back the layers of the Indian auto industry. In this deep dive, we don't hold back. We discuss: The Ethanol "Fiasco": We look into the alleged conflict of interest involving a prominent minister's son and the massive ethanol production surge. Is the E20 mandate a masterstroke for farmers or a windfall for the elite? Economics of Blended Fuel: Why the planned savings aren’t reaching your pocket and what E20 is actually doing to your engine’s longevity. The BS6 Diesel Secret: Why modern Turbo-Diesel engines might actually be "cleaner" than their Petrol counterparts, despite the global narrative. EV Realities: Moving past the hype to look at the actual economics of electric vehicle ownership in 2026. Crash Test Gap: Why a 5-star rating in India doesn't always equal a 5-star rating in Europe. We break down the differences between Bharat NCAP and Euro NCAP. What do you think? Is the Ethanol push justified, or are we being sold a story?
