Q184ModerateRenewable Energy Policy

गुजरात अपशिष्ट से ऊर्जा नीति 2022 के संबंध में निम्नलिखित पर विचार कीजिए:
1. नीति मुख्य रूप से नगरीय ठोस अपशिष्ट (MSW) से बिजली उत्पादन पर केंद्रित है।
2. इस नीति के अंतर्गत परियोजनाओं को विद्युत शुल्क (Electricity Duty) के भुगतान से छूट है।
3. राज्य सरकार अपशिष्ट पृथक्करण मशीनरी की खरीद के लिए पूँजी सब्सिडी देती है।
ऊपर दिए गए कथनों में से कौन-सा/से सही है/हैं?

उत्तर और चरणबद्ध हल
सही उत्तर: A. केवल 1 और 2
संक्षिप्त व्याख्या

A — केवल 1 और 2। नीति का मुख्य दायरा MSW से बिजली उत्पादन है और इसमें विद्युत शुल्क छूट का प्रावधान है। पृथक्करण मशीनरी के लिए पूँजी सब्सिडी नीति में नहीं है — इसे केवल 'नवीकरणीय परियोजना' होने के आधार पर नहीं मानना चाहिए।

विस्तृत हल (मूल भाषा में)

Statement-wise Verification

  • Statement 1 - Correct.
    The policy focuses primarily on the generation of power from Municipal Solid Waste (MSW).
    Waste-to-energy policy links municipal solid-waste management with useful energy recovery.
  • Statement 2 - Correct.
    Projects under this policy are exempted from the payment of Electricity Duty.
    Policy incentives such as electricity-duty treatment, land, tariff or other concessions are jurisdiction- and year-specific, so they must be evaluated against the named Gujarat policy rather than inferred from generic renewable-energy incentives.
  • Statement 3 - Incorrect.
    The state government provides a capital subsidy for the procurement of waste segregation machinery.
    The correct principle is: Distinguish core policy scope from a specific subsidy claim.

Core Concept

Waste-to-energy policy links municipal solid-waste management with useful energy recovery. Policy incentives such as electricity-duty treatment, land, tariff or other concessions are jurisdiction- and year-specific, so they must be evaluated against the named Gujarat policy rather than inferred from generic renewable-energy incentives.

Formula / Key Relationship

MSW-to-energy converts suitable waste fractions into electricity/heat after required processing.

Why the Other Options Are Wrong

Option B is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 3 and omits correct statement(s) 1. Option C is incorrect because it omits correct statement(s) 2. Option D is incorrect because it includes incorrect statement(s) 3.

Exam Shortcut / Approach

Distinguish core policy scope from a specific subsidy claim.

Common Mistake

Do not invent a capital subsidy simply because a project is renewable or waste-based.

Quick Revision

MSW Power and Policy Incentives is linked with Gujarat Waste-to-Energy Policy, Waste-to-Energy Policy and Renewable Energy Policy. Distinguish core policy scope from a specific subsidy claim.
