Statement 1 is correct: the Pre-EoI meeting was held at PDIL headquarters, Noida, and chaired by Dr. K.K. Pathak, Joint Secretary (DoF), who is also Chairman and Managing Director of PDIL. Statement 2 is incorrect: the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy committed Rs 19,744 crore (not Rs 7,244 crore) for green energy infrastructure. Hence only statement 1 is correct.

Q2With reference to India's strategic framework for Green Urea production, consider the following statements:\n1. Green hydrogen is required as an external carbon source for making green urea, while ammonia production needs carbon dioxide.\n2. The 150 TPD Green Urea pilot plant at Pudimadaka in Andhra Pradesh, developed by NETRA, combines CCUS with water electrolysis.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?

A 1 only
B 2 only
C Both 1 and 2
D Neither 1 nor 2
Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect: the roles are reversed. In ammonia production green hydrogen can replace fossil fuels, while making green urea requires carbon dioxide, so an external source of CO2 (not green hydrogen) is needed. Statement 2 is correct: the 150 TPD Green Urea pilot plant at Pudimadaka, Andhra Pradesh, was developed by NETRA (NTPC R&D) and combines advanced carbon capture and utilisation (CCUS) with water electrolysis. Hence only statement 2 is correct.
