Honda Cars India on Thursday said it has achieved E20 petrol compliance certification for all the models it sells in the country.
Honda Cars India has accomplished E20 petrol compliance certification for all its models, including Elevate, City e:HEV, City, and Amaze.
The certification comes ahead of the Government of India’s mandate, requiring all gasoline-fuelled vehicles—including hybrids—to comply with E20 fuel standards from April 1, 2025.
Customers can freely use the E20 petrol in their existing Honda cars without durability concerns or the need to change any part in the car, the automaker said.
“The latest compliance certification for all our current models ahead of the pan India E20 fuel introduction aligns with the Government of India’s goal to implement greener fuels,” Honda Cars India Vice President (Marketing & Sales) Kunal Behl said.
The Government of India has mandated all Gasoline-fueled mono-fuel and bi-fuel vehicles with positive ignition engines, including Hybrids, manufactured on and after April 1, 2025, to be certified with Ethanol (E20) fuel to comply with the prevailing emission norms.
Honda has been committed to ethanol fuel since 2009, ensuring that all its cars manufactured in India since January 1, 2009, are E20 material-compatible. This allows Honda owners to use E20 fuel without any durability concerns or part modifications.
