Kerala inicia inspecciones aleatorias de etanol tras informes de altos niveles en Karnataka

El gobierno de Kerala informó que ha iniciado inspecciones aleatorias en estaciones de servicio de Thiruvananthapuram, Ernakulam, Kozhikode y Kannur para verificar el contenido de etanol, tras los altos niveles detectados en el vecino Karnataka. Anteriormente, un ministro de Karnataka declaró que la mayoría de las muestras de combustible de las estaciones superaban el límite legal del 20 % de etanol, lo que provocó demandas de compensación y mayor supervisión.

Los análisis de laboratorio mostraron mezclas de hasta el 31,2 % de etanol, y el ministro principal anunció pruebas en 67 sitios después de que los conductores reportaran una mezcla del 31,5 % de etanol. El gobierno de Karnataka ha solicitado al gobierno central que tome medidas contra las compañías de comercialización de petróleo.
