Correct Answerसही उत्तर
B. ₹35,657 croreB. ₹35,657 crore
Explanationव्याख्या
The correct answer is ₹35,657 crore.
According to the source, the Production-Linked Incentive or PLI scheme for automobiles had attracted cumulative investment of ₹35,657 crore.
The programme aims to enhance India's manufacturing capabilities in advanced automotive technology.
The source separately states that the total budgetary outlay for the scheme is ₹26,000 crore and covers a five-year period from 2023-24 to 2027-28.
This distinction is important: ₹26,000 crore refers to the scheme's budgetary outlay, while ₹35,657 crore refers to cumulative investment attracted.
Competitive examinations frequently use such closely related figures as distractors.
The source also provides information about the scale of incentives in electric mobility.
Incentives have been provided for more than 10 lakh electric two-wheelers and 2.38 lakh electric three-wheelers.
Around 80,000 electric four-wheelers and 1,400 electric buses have also received incentives.
These figures show the scheme's connection with the expansion of India's electric-vehicle manufacturing ecosystem.
The programme encourages domestic EV manufacturing, adoption of advanced technology and investment in green mobility.
Thus, the PLI scheme is not merely a subsidy for vehicle purchase; in the source it is framed around strengthening manufacturing capabilities in advanced automotive technology and encouraging investment.
For revision, remember: Automobile PLI → advanced automotive technology → budgetary outlay ₹26,000 crore → five years, 2023-24 to 2027-28 → cumulative investment ₹35,657 crore → incentives for 10 lakh+ e-two-wheelers → 2.38 lakh e-three-wheelers → about 80,000 e-four-wheelers → 1,400 e-buses → domestic EV manufacturing and green mobility.
Therefore the investment figure asked in the question is ₹35,657 crore, making option B correct.
सही उत्तर ₹35,657 crore है। Source के अनुसार automobiles के लिए Production-Linked Incentive यानी PLI scheme ने cumulative investment के रूप में ₹35,657 crore attract किए। Programme का objective advanced automotive technology में India की manufacturing capabilities enhance करना है। Source separately बताता है कि scheme का total budgetary outlay ₹26,000 crore है और यह five-year period 2023-24 से 2027-28 तक cover करता है। दोनों figures को अलग रखना बहुत important है। ₹26,000 crore → budgetary outlay; ₹35,657 crore → cumulative investment attracted। Competitive exams में इन्हीं close figures को options में देकर confusion create किया जा सकता है। Electric mobility से जुड़े incentives भी source में दिए गए हैं। 10 lakh से अधिक electric two-wheelers और 2.38 lakh electric three-wheelers को incentives मिले। लगभग 80,000 electric four-wheelers और 1,400 electric buses को भी incentives मिले हैं। ये numbers India के electric-vehicle manufacturing ecosystem में scheme की role को show करते हैं। Programme domestic EV manufacturing, technology adoption और green mobility में investment को encourage करता है। इसलिए इसे केवल vehicle purchase subsidy समझना गलत होगा; source इसे advanced automotive manufacturing capabilities strengthen करने वाली scheme के रूप में frame करता है। Revision: Automobile PLI → advanced automotive technology → ₹26,000 crore outlay → 2023-24 to 2027-28 → ₹35,657 crore cumulative investment → 10 lakh+ e-two-wheelers → 2.38 lakh e-three-wheelers → 80,000 e-four-wheelers → 1,400 e-buses → domestic EV manufacturing + green mobility। इसलिए option B सही answer है।
