印度政府将提高汽油中乙醇含量
据海外媒体2月11日报道，印度政府日前说，为了减少对石油进口的依赖，印度政府将在今年10月份前把混合在汽油中的乙醇含量提高一倍，达到10%。
印度石油和天然气部长穆里·德奥拉日前在班加罗尔会见了大会党领袖以后对媒体记者说，印度政府一直在努力减少石油进口量并通过实施新的勘探许可证招标政策（NELP）来促进本国的石油勘探。
德奥拉在谈到被提议的提高汽油和柴油价格一事说，印度政府迄今还没有就此事作出最后的决定。印度政府必须考虑全球不断攀升的原油价格。
德奥拉在回答大会党领袖的有关质问时说，由于需要铺设管道以及建造汽车加油站，因此，在班加罗尔引进压缩天然气（CNG）预计还将需要更多的时间。

BANGALORE: The government on Friday said it would double the ethanol content to be mixed with petrol to 10 per cent by this October to reduce the country's dependence on oil exports.
The government was making efforts to reduce oil imports and give an impetus to oil exploration through new exploration licensing policy, Union Minister for Petroleum and Natural Gas Murli Deora told reporters after a meeting with Congress party leaders here.
He remained non-committal on the proposed hike in petrol and diesel prices, on which the government is yet to take a decision. He said, "one has to take into account the rising crude oil prices globally and the price situation cannot be seen in isolation".
The introduction of CNG in Bangalore was expected to take more time as pipelines have to be laid and filling stations established, he replied to a query.
Commenting on the party's prospects in the coming assembly elections in Karnataka, he said, "I feel Congress has a good chance to win in the state".
