According to the articles shared by the Prime Minister, which areas are seeing expansion and investment in India’s clean energy shift?
- A.Rooftop solar, storage and transmission
- B.Offshore oil drilling and refining
- C.Coal gasification and washing
- D.Nuclear fuel reprocessing
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is rooftop solar, storage and transmission. The article written by Union Minister Pralhad Joshi with Mike Bloomberg, which the Prime Minister shared, records the growth of renewable energy as a whole, the expansion of rooftop solar and the money going into storage and into transmission. It adds that the shift is helping cut electricity bills, create jobs and strengthen the country’s energy security. Option B is wrong because offshore oil drilling and refining are not part of the clean energy account given here. Option C is wrong because coal gasification and washing belong to the conventional fuel sector and are not mentioned. Option D is wrong because nuclear fuel reprocessing finds no place in either article. Candidates should also recall the 500 GW renewable energy target that frames the discussion.
