How many notified sectors does the NITI Aayog assessment of the PLI route cover?
- A.10
- B.12
- C.14
- D.16
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is 14. The assessment is a sector-wise exercise spread over every sector notified by the Government under the Production Linked Incentive route, and that count is fourteen. For each of them the study measures investment, additional production, exports and employment generation, and then places the sector in one of four groups: On-Track, Partial Impact, Insignificant Evidence of Impact, or Data unavailable. Options A and B understate the coverage; a study limited to ten or twelve sectors would have left out several of the segments the report actually discusses, such as drones, white goods, speciality steel and technical textiles. Option D overstates it, and no additional sectors beyond the notified list were assessed. The important point for an examination is that the coverage is complete rather than selective, and that nearly seventy per cent of the targeted segments were found to be on track.
