Practice questions

Q1Which one of the following statements about the e-bus component of PM E-DRIVE is incorrect?

A At launch, nine cities with populations above 40 lakh were named for demand aggregation.

B The subsequent two-phase allocation covers 13,800 e-buses in seven cities.

C Kolkata and Chennai are absent from the two-phase allocation.

D Its e-bus support is designed specifically for cities with populations from 3 lakh to 40 lakh.

Explanation

Option D is incorrect because it assigns the 3-lakh-to-40-lakh city bracket to PM E-DRIVE. Its e-bus component targets cities above 40 lakh, while the separate PM-eBus Sewa serves the 3-lakh-to-40-lakh bracket. The nine-city launch list and later seven-city allocation are both valid at their respective stages.

Q2Consider the following statements about the component-wise outlay of PM E-DRIVE: 1. ₹4,391 crore is allocated for e-buses. 2. ₹2,000 crore is allocated for public charging stations. 3. ₹780 crore is allocated for upgrading automotive testing agencies. Which of the statements given above are correct?

A 1 and 2 only

B 2 and 3 only

C 1, 2 and 3

D 1 and 3 only

Explanation

All three statements reproduce the component allocations: ₹4,391 crore for 14,028 e-buses, ₹2,000 crore for public charging infrastructure and ₹780 crore for upgrading the Ministry of Heavy Industries' automotive testing agencies. Hence option C is correct.

Q3Which Union ministry is the nodal ministry for the PM Electric Drive Revolution in Innovative Vehicle Enhancement Scheme?

A Ministry of Heavy Industries

B Ministry of Road Transport and Highways

C Ministry of Power

D Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs

Explanation

PM E-DRIVE is a Central Sector Scheme administered by the Ministry of Heavy Industries. The ministry implements its demand incentives, e-bus support, public charging component and testing-agency upgrades; therefore option A identifies the nodal ministry correctly.

Q4Match the following PM E-DRIVE vehicle categories with their eligibility or delivery conditions: 1. e-2W—ex-factory price ceiling of ₹1.5 lakh; 2. registered e-rickshaw/e-cart—ex-factory price ceiling of ₹2.5 lakh; 3. e-truck—scrapping certificate for an old conventional truck is mandatory; 4. e-bus—procurement through a gross-cost-contract model. Which pairs are correctly matched?

A 1, 2, 3 and 4

B 1, 2 and 3 only

C 2 and 4 only

D 1 and 3 only

Explanation

All four pairs are correct. The ex-factory ceilings are ₹1.5 lakh for e-2Ws and ₹2.5 lakh for registered e-rickshaws/e-carts. An authorised scrapping certificate for an old conventional truck is mandatory for e-truck support, and transport bodies procure supported e-buses through the gross-cost-contract operational model.

Q5The PM E-DRIVE public-charging plan provides for 22,100 fast chargers for e-4Ws, 1,800 for e-buses and 48,400 for e-2Ws/e-3Ws. What is their total?

A 70,300

B 72,300

C 74,300

D 76,700

Explanation

Adding the category-wise targets gives 22,100 + 1,800 + 48,400 = 72,300 fast chargers. The figures respectively cover e-4Ws, e-buses and e-2Ws/e-3Ws, so option B is the only arithmetically and factually correct total.
