Karnataka sarkar ka daava: Petrol ke namuno mein 31.2% tak ethanol, tel companiyon ne jaanch prakriya par uthaye savaal

Kaise hui jaanch

Mantri ke anusar, vidhik map vigyan vibhag ne Bengaluru, Kolar, Chikkaballapur, Bengaluru gramin, Ramanagar, Mangaluru aur Tumkuru se kul 63 namune liye. Ye sample “Mission Nikhara” abhiyan ke tahat jutaye gaye, jiska uddeshya indhan ki gunvatta aur map ki satikta sunishchit karna bataya gaya hai.

Arshad ne daava kiya ki namune pehle IOCL aur BPCL ki apni prayogshalayon mein bheje gaye the, lekin unki report mein ethanol ka pratishat darj hi nahi kiya gaya, jabki yeh jaanch ka tay manak hai. Iske baad rajya sarkar ne niyamon ke anusar dobara namune lekar unhein NABL manyata prapt aur ISO pramanit prayogshalayon mein bheja.

Kis namune mein kitna ethanol

Sarkar ki or se bataye gaye natije is prakar hain:

• IOCL (MS): 31.2 feesadi aur 20.8 feesadi
• HPCL (MS-Power): 30.5 feesadi
• HPCL (MS): 27 feesadi aur 22.4 feesadi
• BPCL (MS-Speed): 26.5 feesadi
• Nayara (MS): 26.1 feesadi aur 20.6 feesadi
• Shell (MS): 25.5 feesadi
• BPCL (MS): 24.2 feesadi aur 22.6 feesadi

Kuch namune 20 feesadi se neeche bhi rahe. BPCL ke ek namune mein 19.9 feesadi, MRPL ke namune mein 19.2 feesadi aur Shell ke ek namune mein 13.5 feesadi ethanol darj hua. Yani sabhi namune seema se upar nahi the.

Mantri ke anya aarop

Arshad ne kaha ki tel companiyan record munafa kama rahi hain, jabki mileage mein kami aur vahano ki marammat ka bojh upbhoktaon par pad raha hai. Unhone yeh bhi daava kiya ki petrol pumpo ki zyadaatar dispensing machinein sirf 15 feesadi tak ethanol mishran ke liye bani hain. Ye sabhi baatein rajya sarkar ke daave hain aur inki swatantra pushti nahi hui hai.

Karnataka sarkar ki maangein

Rajya sarkar ne kendra se ye maangein rakhi hain:

• Kendriya sadak parivahan mantri aur petroleum mantri sarvajanik roop se spasht karein ki upbhoktaon ko asal mein kitna ethanol mila petrol diya ja raha hai.
• 20 feesadi se zyada ethanol wala petrol bechne wali companiyon par dandatmak karwai ho.
• Rajya mein bik rahe petrol mein ethanol ki matra ka pump-stariya audit prakashit kiya jaye.
• E20 se vahano ko huye nuksan ke liye muavza kosh bane aur adhikrit service center ke praman par samaybaddh daava prakriya se bhugtan ho.
• Deshbhar ke har pump par ethanol ka pratishat pradarshit karna anivarya ho aur upbhoktaon ko indhan chunne ka vikalp mile.

Rajya sarkar ne kaha hai ki vah pradeshbhar mein aisi jaanch jaari rakhegi aur natije sarvajanik karegi.

Tel companiyon ka paksh

IOCL, BPCL aur HPCL ne sanyukt bayan mein kaha ki Karnataka ke nishkarsh nirdharit prakriya ke tahat hui jaanch par aadharit nahi hain. Companiyon ke anusar, rajya ne jis teesre paksh ki prayogshala ke pramanpatron ka hawala diya hai, vah niyantran aadesh ke tahat nirdisht prayogshala nahi hai. Unka yeh bhi kehna hai ki pramanpatron mein itna takniki byora nahi hai ki ethanol ki batayi gayi matra ki swatantra pushti ho sake. Companiyon ne yeh bhi kaha ki rajya mein aapurti ho raha E20 petrol BIS manak IS 17021 ke anurup hai. Companiyon ne namune lene ki prakriya par bhi savaal uthaye hain. Mantri ke aaropon mein Shell, Nayara aur MRPL bhi shamil hain, lekin uplabdh jankari mein in companiyon ki pratikriya samne nahi aayi hai.

Desh mein E20 ki sthiti

Kendra sarkar ke nirdesh ke tahat deshbhar mein tel companiyon ko 20 feesadi tak ethanol mila petrol bechna hai. Yeh BIS ke vinirdeshon ke anusar hona chahiye, jisme nyuntam octane rating (RON) 95 tay hai. April 2026 mein kendra ne kaha tha ki BIS manakon mein ±1 feesadi ki chhoot hai, jisse vyavhar mein mishran 21 feesadi tak ho sakta hai. Sarkar ka kehna hai ki 20 feesadi se aage mishran badhane ka koi faisla nahi hua hai. Petroleum mantri Hardeep Singh Puri pehle keh chuke hain ki E20 petrol se vahano par koi asar nahi padta. Karnataka ke taaza aaropon par kendriya mantriyon ki koi seedhi pratikriya uplabdh jankari mein samne nahi aayi hai.
