E20 activist Tehseen Poonawalla shared a document claiming it was the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers' (SIAM) letter to the government warning against impurities in E20 petrol. The letter stated that high chloride levels in E20 being sold in India may permanently damage vehicles, and high moisture may "paralyse" them. "The document the government tried hard to erase," Poonawalla said.
