Q1Consider the following statements about the International Solar Alliance: 1. It is described by MNRE as a treaty-based international intergovernmental organization. 2. It was established by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and President Francois Hollande on November 30, 2016. 3. It aims at mobilizing more than USD 1000 billion of investment by 2030 for solar deployment. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because MNRE gives the establishment date as November 30, 2015, not 2016.
Q2Consider the following statements: 1. PM-KUSUM was launched in March 2019. 2. Its objectives include energy and water security to farmers, income enhancement and de-dieselisation of the farm sector. 3. Component-A of PM-KUSUM is for installation of standalone off-grid solar water pumps. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct as per the MNRE PIB release. Statement 3 is false: Component-A is for decentralised ground/stilt-mounted grid-connected solar or other renewable-energy power plants; standalone off-grid solar water pumps belong to Component-B.
Q3Consider the following statements about solar energy in India: 1. About 5,000 trillion kWh per year energy is incident over India’s land area. 2. NISE assessed India’s solar potential at about 748 GW assuming 3% of waste land area is covered by solar PV modules. 3. The National Solar Mission was launched on 11th January, 2011. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct as stated by MNRE. Statement 3 is incorrect: the National Solar Mission was launched on 11 January 2010, not 2011.
Q4Consider the following statements about PM-KUSUM: 1. The scheme aims to add solar capacity of 34,800 MW by March 2026. 2. Component-A is for installation of 14 lakh stand-alone solar agriculture pumps. 3. Component-C includes solarisation of 35 lakh grid-connected agriculture pumps including feeder-level solarisation. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 3 are correct. Statement 2 is incorrect because 14 lakh stand-alone solar agriculture pumps fall under Component-B, while Component-A is for decentralized grid-connected solar or other renewable energy plants.
Q5Consider the following statements about the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board: 1. It was constituted under the Petroleum and Natural Gas Regulatory Board Act, 2006. 2. Its Act provides for protecting the interests of consumers and entities engaged in specified petroleum, petroleum product and natural gas activities. 3. Its mandate includes production of crude oil and natural gas. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statements 1 and 2 are correct: PNGRB states that it was constituted under the 2006 Act and that the Act protects consumers and entities in specified petroleum, petroleum product and natural gas activities. Statement 3 is incorrect because PNGRB's own description excludes production of crude oil and natural gas from the listed regulatory mandate.
