Practice questions
Q1Under the Rajasthan Biomass and Waste to Energy Policy, 2023, what registration fee is charged for a biomass briquette or pellet manufacturing unit?
The cited policy charges no registration fee for biomass briquette or pellet manufacturing unit registration. Rs 30,000 per MW plus GST applies to biomass and waste-to-energy power project registration, not briquette or pellet manufacturing units. The fixed per-unit and per-project amounts are not the fee stated for these manufacturing units.
Q2Under the Rajasthan Renewable Energy Policy, 2023, when is a wind-solar plant recognised as a hybrid plant?
The policy recognises a wind-solar plant as hybrid when the rated capacity of one resource is at least 25% of the rated capacity of the other resource. Exact equality is not required, a 50% solar-to-wind condition is stricter than the policy threshold, and a 10 MW minimum-resource test is not the stated recognition rule.
Q3Match the promoted activity under the Rajasthan Biomass and Waste to Energy Policy, 2023 with its correct description: List I 1. Biomass-based power project 2. Briquette or pellet manufacturing plant 3. Biomass co-firing project 4. Waste-to-energy project List II P. Use of MSW, RDF, industrial waste or medical waste Q. Biomass input used along with conventional fuel R. Power generation based on biomass S. Densified biomass-fuel manufacturing
The correct matching is biomass-based power project with biomass-based power generation, briquette or pellet plant with densified biomass-fuel manufacturing, biomass co-firing with biomass used along with conventional fuel, and waste-to-energy with MSW, RDF, industrial waste or medical waste. The other matchings shift waste inputs, co-firing and briquette or pellet manufacturing into the wrong activity buckets.
Q4Consider the following statements about off-grid solar applications under the Rajasthan Solar Energy Policy, 2019: 1. The policy promoted solar water pumps, home lighting systems and solar water heaters. 2. It also promoted standalone solar systems for remote villages and hamlets called Dhanis. 3. Its off-grid application list was limited only to grid-connected rooftop systems in municipal areas. Which of the statements given above are correct?
Statement 1 is correct because the policy promoted solar water pumps, home lighting systems and solar water heaters as off-grid applications. Statement 2 is correct because it also covered standalone solar systems for remote villages and Dhanis. Statement 3 is wrong because the cited fact is about off-grid applications and standalone systems, not a list confined to grid-connected municipal rooftop systems.
Q5Under the Rajasthan Green Hydrogen Policy, 2023, what is the green hydrogen production target set for 2030?
The policy sets the 2030 production target at 2,000 kilo tonnes per annum of green hydrogen. The figures of 1,000, 5,000 and 10,000 kilo tonnes per annum are close numerical distractors, but they are not the target stated in the Rajasthan Green Hydrogen Policy, 2023.

6Consider the following statements about the Rajasthan Green Hydrogen Policy, 2023: 1. It targets at least one green hydrogen valley. 2. It targets at least one giga factory for electrolyser manufacturing. 3. It targets a dedicated giga factory only for solar-module manufacturing. Which of the statements given above are correct?
7Assertion (A): The Rajasthan Green Hydrogen Policy, 2023 was issued through notification No. F 20(17)Energy/2021 dated 29 September 2023. Reason (R): The issuing department for that notification was the Energy Department of the Government of Rajasthan. Choose the correct answer.
8Which sequence correctly captures the legal life-cycle stated for the Rajasthan Solar Energy Policy, 2019?
9Consider the following statements about waste-to-energy projects under the Rajasthan Biomass and Waste to Energy Policy, 2023. 1. The Pollution Control Board charges no fee for Consent to Establish. 2. The Pollution Control Board charges no fee for Consent to Operate. 3. The no-fee provision applies only to solar parks, not waste-to-energy projects. Which of the statements given above are correct?
10In the September 2023 chronology of Rajasthan's energy-sector policy notifications, which date marks the notification of the Rajasthan Biomass and Waste to Energy Policy, 2023 by the Energy Department?
11Biomass and waste-to-energy projects approved under Rajasthan's 2023 biomass policy have to be commissioned within what period from the date of project approval?
12Match the solar-capacity components under the Rajasthan Solar Energy Policy, 2019 with their targets up to 2024-25. List I 1. Utility or grid-scale solar parks 2. Distributed generation 3. Rooftop solar 4. Solar pumps List II A. 24,000 MW B. 4,000 MW C. 1,000 MW D. 1,000 MW Choose the correct matching.
13Assertion: Biomass and waste-to-energy power projects in Rajasthan must register online with RREC. Reason: For such power projects, the policy requires a non-refundable processing fee of Rs 30,000 per MW plus GST. Choose the correct answer.
14Read the Assertion and the Reason about the Rajasthan Green Hydrogen Policy, 2023. Assertion: The policy's export ambition for Rajasthan is not limited only to green hydrogen as a fuel. Reason: The policy aims for Rajasthan to cater to at least 20% of India's green hydrogen exports, including fuel, chemicals derived from green hydrogen, and technology products such as electrolysers. Choose the correct answer.
15Consider the following two statements about the Rajasthan fuel conservation directive issued on 13 May 2026:\n1. CM Bhajanlal Sharma reduced his official convoy to five vehicles and asked all officials and public representatives to curtail unnecessary vehicle use.\n2. The directive was issued in response to a Prime Minister appeal on national resource management amid elevated global crude oil prices.\nWhich of the statements given above is/are correct?
