Q: Answer-What is a key feature of the revised Pradhan Mantri JI-VAN Yojana approved by the Union Cabinet?

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 Indias 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.

A The scheme now exclusively supports first-generation biofuels.

B The extension of the scheme until 2028-29 includes a focus on nuclear energy projects.

C The revised scheme includes support for "bolt-on" plants and "brownfield projects" to leverage existing infrastructure.

D The focus of the scheme has shifted entirely from biofuels to coal-based energy sources.

E The scheme discontinues any support for the Ethanol Blended Petrol (EBP) Programme.
