A bench of the Supreme Court has clarified that the responsibility for providing ethanol‑blend information lies with the agencies that regulate fuel quality, not the judiciary. The petitioner, who insisted that every nozzle should carry a clear label indicating the E20 proportion, was advised to file a grievance with the designated authority. The judges emphasized procedural propriety, noting that the Supreme Court is not the first forum for such consumer‑safety matters. The centre’s legal representative reiterated that the E20 policy is already in force and that the court’s earlier 2025 decision dismissed challenges to compulsory blending.
