KSRTC plans to use the blended diesel in 2,500 buses in the coming days after the successful test on 133 buses in the city. Ethanol and diesel were blended through an agent called solubiliser, a biomass product, said G.Santhosh kumar, Environment Engineering Coordinator of Energenics, who is overseeing the pilot project.
