Q1With reference to PM GatiShakti and the National Logistics Policy, consider the following statements: 1. PM GatiShakti primarily supports integrated planning of fixed infrastructure and multimodal networks through a geospatial National Master Plan platform. 2. The National Logistics Policy is confined to road construction and excludes standards, digitisation, services and process reform. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only statement 1 is correct. PM GatiShakti focuses on integrated network and fixed-infrastructure planning through a geospatial platform. The National Logistics Policy complements it through soft infrastructure, including standards, digitisation, services, processes, human resources and data-backed decisions; it is not merely a road-building policy.
Q2Arrange the following enactments in chronological order, from the earliest to the latest: A. Railways Act B. National Highways Act C. Major Port Authorities Act D. National Highways Authority of India Act Select the correct answer using the code given below.
The National Highways Act was enacted in 1956, followed by the National Highways Authority of India Act in 1988, the Railways Act in 1989 and the Major Port Authorities Act in 2021. Hence the chronological sequence is B-D-A-C.
Q3Arrange the following stages of an infrastructure project from the earliest to the latest: A. Operation and maintenance B. Sector-specific approvals and clearances C. Demand assessment, engineering surveys and environmental screening D. Construction shaped by terrain, monsoon, contractor capacity and local permissions Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Planning comes first through demand assessment, surveys and environmental screening. Sector-specific approvals follow before construction. Once construction is complete, the asset enters operation and requires continuing maintenance. The correct sequence is C-B-D-A.
Q4With reference to aviation and regional connectivity, consider the following statements: 1. A physically complete airport necessarily remains operationally viable even without airline interest, ground transport, maintenance or local demand. 2. Air cargo is particularly suited to high-value, low-weight and time-sensitive goods such as pharmaceuticals, electronics, flowers and emergency supplies. Which of the statements given above is/are correct? Select the correct answer using the code given below.
Only statement 2 is correct. Air cargo serves high-value, low-weight and time-sensitive goods but cannot replace bulk freight. A completed airport can remain operationally weak when airline interest, navigation, security, ground access, maintenance or viable demand is missing, so statement 1 is incorrect.
