Statement 3 is correct: supply chain resilience and dedicated capacity-building programmes for industrial scaling were discussed under the Manufacturing, Operations and Capacity Building pillar, along with domestic manufacturing capability and operational readiness. Since no statement is false, options A, B and C, each of which excludes a correct statement, are wrong.

The consultation, convened by NITI Aayog, was chaired by Prof. Abhay Karandikar, Member, NITI Aayog, making option C correct. The other three were present at the consultation but did not chair it: Sh. Pankaj Agrawal (A) attended as Secretary, Ministry of Power; Sh. Ghanshyam Prasad (B) as Chairperson, Central Electricity Authority; and Sh. Gurdeep Singh (D) as Chairman and Managing Director of NTPC Ltd. As the convening body was NITI Aayog, the chair was drawn from NITI Aayog itself.
