India — Karnataka High Court & Bharat Petroleum

India — Karnataka High Court: The India — Karnataka High Court had directed oil marketing companies to consider enhancing ethanol allocation for VINP Distilleries and Sugars, an order that was subsequently stayed by the Supreme Court.

Bharat Petroleum: Bharat Petroleum filed a plea with the India — Supreme Court of India, arguing that the India — Karnataka High Court's order would destabilize the national ethanol blending policy. The India — Supreme Court of India's status quo order is favorable to Bharat Petroleum's position.
