Keralam has started collecting petrol samples to test for ethanol content exceeding the prescribed 20%, following Karnataka's discovery of excessive ethanol levels. The Keralam Civil Supplies Department collected samples from nine outlets in four districts, with results expected within 10 days. Karnataka Food and Civil Supplies Minister Rizwan Arshad defended the state's findings, rejecting objections from oil marketing companies. Union Minister Pralhad Joshi claimed that all samples tested across 27 states and union territories complied with the prescribed 19–21% range, and questioned the credibility of Karnataka's measurement.
