RAS question
Which of the following statements about the Rajasthan Industrial Park Promotion Policy 2026 is/are correct? 1. It mandates a minimum area of 50 acres and at least 10 industrial units for private parks to avail policy benefits. 2. Industries can receive 100% reimbursement for Common Effluent Treatment Plants (CETPs). 3. It envisages development through models including fully private, hybrid land-sharing, and PPP modes. 4. Single-window clearance is facilitated through the Raj Nivesh Portal. Select the correct answer:
Correct answer: (C) 1, 3, and 4 only.
Under the Rajasthan Industrial Park Promotion Policy 2026, statements 1, 3 and 4 are correct because eligible industrial parks need at least 50 acres and 10 units, the policy uses multiple development models, and RajNivesh provides the single-window interface, while CETP reimbursement is 50%, not 100%.
Explanation
The official Rajasthan Industrial Park Promotion Policy 2026 makes eligibility and process the key filters. It states that an industrial park must have a 50-acre minimum area and at least 10 units, so statement 1 is correct. Its development framework is not confined to one route: the policy classifies land procurement, ownership and development into four models, covering RIICO land, developer-arranged land, hybrid land support and PPP/JV structures, so statement 3 is correct. For approvals, RajNivesh is the single-point digital interface for investment-related applications under the policy, supporting statement 4. Statement 2 overstates the incentive: the green incentive reimburses 50% of expenditure on Common Effluent Treatment Plants, subject to the policy ceiling, not 100%.
Why the other options are wrong
- (A) A leaves out statements 3 and 4, even though the policy expressly provides multiple development models and uses RajNivesh as the single-window digital interface.
- (B) B omits statement 1, although the policy fixes 50 acres and 10 units as the eligibility threshold for an industrial park seeking benefits.
- (D) D includes statement 2, but the policy provides 50% reimbursement for Common Effluent Treatment Plants, not a full 100% reimbursement.
Concept
This tests Rajasthan economy policy literacy, especially how industrial promotion policies combine eligibility conditions, development models and clearance mechanisms. It recurs in RAS because state industrial policy questions often turn on exact thresholds and incentive percentages.
