I am planning to buy a new scooter, but I am a bit skeptical because the government is considering introducing E85/E100 ethanol-blended fuel in the future. What is your advice on this?
While the government has started the roll-out of E85/E100, these higher blends won’t replace regular E20 petrol at your local pump. These higher blends need tailored flex‑fuel engines and materials to be compatible. For now, E20 is going to stick around and remain available nationwide.
But you should wait actually ethanol blended fuel will be cheaper and have more octane manufacturer will tune up engine and that will pocket friendly to you, now only buy flex fuel vehicle that will give cheaper running cost and goverment will definitely increase ethanol in every fuel. So please wait and only buy flex fuel vehicle.
Invest in new vehicles only if those models are compatible with E85/E100. Don't waste your hard earned money.

What about the battery health of an ev..in the long run..let's say beyond 5 years..will the ev be as efficient?
I would say don’t buy at all, move to good EV. There is also ethanol more refinement etc in future, leading again fuel modification. EV is only technology upgrade unlike engine & fuel
My personal experience, don't go with TVS Ntork.. choose some other brands
