RAS question
Which sector received the highest investment commitment in MoUs at Rising Rajasthan Summit 2024?
Correct answer: (A) Energy.
At the Rising Rajasthan Global Investment Summit 2024, the Energy sector received the highest MoU investment commitment, at ₹26,07,804.45 crore across 531 MoUs.
Explanation
The Economic Review 2025-26 lists department-wise MoUs signed at the Rising Rajasthan Summit 2024. Energy stood first with 531 MoUs and investment commitments of ₹26,07,804.45 crore. This was far above Industries, which recorded ₹3,28,151.80 crore. The scale of the Energy figure also fits the summit’s wider framing, where thematic sessions covered renewable energy and other major economic sectors, but the department-wise MoU commitments determine the sector ranking rather than broad sectoral importance. Therefore, Energy had the largest investment commitment among the departments.
Why the other options are wrong
- (B) Tourism is wrong because it received ₹73,813.91 crore, well below Energy’s ₹26,07,804.45 crore.
- (C) Mines is wrong because its MoU investment commitment was ₹1,72,709.46 crore, which is substantial but not the highest.
- (D) Industries is wrong because it stood second with ₹3,28,151.80 crore, behind Energy.
Concept
RAS Rajasthan Economy preparation requires investment-summit figures and sector-wise MoU commitments. Recent state economic initiatives often appear through exact rankings, not just broad policy themes.
