Show the answer and explanation
CorrectNot quiteAnswer D
Correct answer: D
Explanation
The Cabinet release says the scheme is administered by the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas.
It is built around compressed biogas (CBG), with an obligation on the CNG (Transport) and PNG (Domestic) gas segments to take it.
The outlay is ₹23,731 crore, from FY 2026-27 to FY 2035-36.
Worth noting
A scheme about cattle dung and farm waste sounds as if it belongs to agriculture. Ask where the product goes: here, into the gas network.
