The National Action Plan on Climate Change (NAPC

NMEEE is one of the eight NAPCC missions and is the parent scheme for PAT (Perform Achieve and Trade). PAT creates a market-based mechanism where Designated Consumers (DCs) earn tradeable ESCerts for over-achieving their energy reduction targets. Option (C) is wrong — 33% forest cover is the Green India Mission’s objective. Option (D) confuses missions. Option (A) is broadly correct on solar but evolving targets make (B) the most precise answer for this context. Note: Surat’s PM₂.₅ emission trading scheme (2019) was India’s first city-level cap-and-trade system for particulate matter. Separate from PAT which deals with energy efficiency.
