According to the Union Minister for New and Renewable Energy, how much investment has India's renewable energy sector attracted over the past decade?
- A.Over Rs 5 lakh crore
- B.Over Rs 10 lakh crore
- C.Over Rs 15 lakh crore
- D.Over Rs 25 lakh crore
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is over Rs 15 lakh crore. Addressing the closing ceremony of the summit, Pralhad Joshi said the renewable energy sector had drawn more than this amount in the past decade, and that nearly Rs 6 lakh crore of it had flowed in during just the last two years, which shows how sharply the pace has picked up. Option A, over Rs 5 lakh crore, is wrong and is well short of the figure given. Option B, over Rs 10 lakh crore, is also wrong; the only smaller amount quoted was the near Rs 6 lakh crore of the last two years, which is a part of the decade's total and not the total itself. Option D overstates the figure and appears nowhere. Aspirants should remember the decade figure and the two-year figure as a pair, since the second is often used as a distractor for the first.
