Question
What is a key feature of the revised Pradhan Mantri
JI-VAN Yojana approved by the Union Cabinet?Solution
The Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana has been modified to extend its timeline to 2028-29, incorporating advanced biofuels from lignocellulosic feedstocks and other sources. One of the significant updates in the revised scheme is the inclusion of support for "bolt-on" plants and "brownfield projects." This initiative allows existing facilities to benefit from their infrastructure and experience, enhancing project viability and encouraging the utilization of new technologies and innovations in biofuel production. The scheme continues to support the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme, aiming for a 20% ethanol blend by 2025-26, which aligns with India's energy security, environmental goals, and net-zero GHG emissions target by 2070. Thus, the correct answer reflects these strategic updates aiming to bolster biofuel production capacity and efficiency.
