E20 Petrol Decision: Bhutan has declined India’s E20 petrol offer, saying its ageing, moisture-prone fuel storage tanks aren’t ready for ethanol-blended fuel. Officials warn ethanol is hygroscopic and can absorb water, risking fuel quality problems—especially on Bhutan’s mountainous terrain. Fuel Efficiency Findings: India’s ARAI says E20 can cut mileage by up to 6% but rules out engine breakdowns in compatible vehicles, while noting some older rubber parts may wear faster. Energy Security Boost: Bhutan secured a US$160 million ADB loan for a 310MW solar expansion, including 120MW and 40MW projects in Bumthang and a 150MW Lhuentse project via Bhutan–Tata Power’s first private-majority PPP, plus new transmission lines. Sports Spotlight: Bhutan wrapped up the South Asian Bodybuilding and Physique Championships with medals—ending with 4 gold, 3 silver, and 8 bronze. Digital & Governance: Bhutan is preparing country-specific social media rules to curb misuse and speed up takedowns. Education Reform: Bhutan is moving toward mandatory professional teaching standards and a teacher registration and certification framework. Public Safety & Society: UNICEF reports nearly 9 in 10 Bhutanese children face at least one climate hazard, with drought the biggest risk. Crypto Watch: Bhutan’s government-linked wallets reportedly moved 700 BTC (about $43.75M) to Binance as Bitcoin pushed past $62,000.
