⛽ 3. MoRTH Amends Rules to Support E85/E100 Flex Fuel Vehicles
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has notified amendments to the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989 to support flex fuel vehicles that can run on E85 and other high-ethanol fuels. The emission certification provisions now expressly include E100 alongside E85.
E85 = petrol-ethanol blend with up to 85% ethanol by volume
- Meaning of the name → “E” stands for ethanol and the number shows its share in the fuel; E100 is a fuel made up predominantly of ethanol
- Flex fuel vehicles → specially designed to run on a range of ethanol-petrol blends from a single tank; already used in Brazil and the United States
- Who is covered → only vehicles designed and certified for E85/E100; owners of existing vehicles do not have to switch or modify their vehicles
- Benefit → more use of domestic ethanol can cut dependence on imported crude oil and lower some exhaust pollutants
A vehicle that is compatible with E10 or E20 is not automatically suitable for E85. The notification also updates biodiesel-related provisions.
Exam Point
MoRTH amendment → Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989; E100 added alongside E85 in emission certification
E85 → up to 85% ethanol by volume; flex fuel vehicles already used in Brazil and USA

📖 How to Revise Daily Current Affairs 27 October 2026
Do not try to memorise every number in one sitting. Start with the headings and the Exam Point boxes, because those hold the facts examiners like to test: names of schemes, organisations, venues, amounts and first-ever achievements.
Next, go through the one-liners and say each answer aloud before reading it. Mark the ones you get wrong and revisit them after a day, then again after a week. This spaced revision helps current affairs stay in memory until the exam.
Finally, link each news item to the static syllabus, for example the DAC approvals to the Defence Acquisition Procedure and iDEX, the flex fuel rules to the National Policy on Biofuels and the Central Motor Vehicles Rules, 1989, the de-addiction programme to the NDPS Act, 1985, and ASUSE to the role of the NSO under MoSPI. Questions in SSC, Banking and State PSC papers often combine a current event with a static fact.
