Which state signed 18 MoUs worth about Rs 1.17 lakh crore at the BRE Summit and Expo 2026?
- A.Gujarat
- B.Odisha
- C.Rajasthan
- D.Goa
Correct answer
Explanation
The correct answer is Odisha. On the second day of the Bharat Renewable Energy Summit and Expo 2026, the state saw the signing of 18 memoranda of understanding representing a proposed investment of about Rs 1.17 lakh crore, in the presence of Chief Minister Mohan Charan Majhi and Deputy Chief Minister Kanak Vardhan Singh Deo. Options A and C are wrong because neither state was reported as signing agreements of that size at this summit, even though 13 states and union territories were showcasing their renewable energy potential there. Option D is a near miss and the usual trap: Goa did figure in the news from the same day, but through a separate agreement in which Bondada Engineering Ltd signed with the Goa Investment Promotion and Facilitation Board for projects of roughly Rs 3,000 crore. Keep the two apart, matching the larger package with Odisha and the smaller one with Goa.
