The Government of India’s Ethanol Blending Programme is a key initiative to reduce fuel imports, curb pollution, and create new employment opportunities by blending 10–20% ethanol with petrol. To amplify public awareness and ensure mass adoption, a large-scale integrated campaign was executed across outdoor, digital, and influencer platforms.

Commissioned by IOCL, BPCL, and HPCL, the campaign sought to educate citizens about the environmental and economic benefits of ethanol, while also positioning it as a people’s movement for a cleaner, self-reliant India.
