Alcohol or ethanol (C2H5OH) is a biofuel produced naturally by fermenting sugar. India has launched Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) program to blend this biofuel with petrol to reduce fossil fuel consumption. E20 indicates a mixture of 20% ethanol and 80% petrol. The number 20 in E20 refers to the proportion of ethanol in the gasoline blend. That is, the higher this number, the higher the proportion of ethanol in petrol.

E20 petrol produced by Jio-BP contains 80% petrol and 20% ethanol. The price of petrol in Delhi is around Rs 96 per liter. That means, at the rate of Rs 96, the price of 80 per cent petrol becomes Rs 76.80. Similarly, the price of ethanol on the app has increased to Rs 55 per liter. By Rs 55, the price of 20% ethanol becomes Rs 11. That means one liter E20 petrol includes normal petrol worth Rs 76.80 and ethanol worth Rs 11. In this way the price of one liter E20 petrol becomes Rs 87.80. That means it is Rs 8.20 cheaper than normal petrol.
