## ANNEXURE REFERRED TO IN  REPLY TO PARTS (c) to (f) OF THE LOK SABHA UNSTARRED QUESTION NO. 87 FOR ANSWER ON 02.02.2022.

## Initiatives taken by Government to encourage use of green technology

- i. Indian entered into Green Strategic Partnership (GSP) with Denmark aimed at boosting cooperation in green technologies and management of natural resources, such  as  groundwater. Focus  sectors identified under  the partnership include water, urban development, renewable energy, climate action,  sustainable  and  smart  cities,  cooperation  in  intellectual  property rights,  maritime  cooperation,  food  and  agriculture,  and  health  and  life science.  Working  groups  for  each  of  the  identified  sectors  have  been instituted in both the countries.
- ii. A Statement of Intent (SoI) was signed between Atal Innovation Mission (AIM), NITI Aayog, and Embassy of Denmark to India as a part of the GSP with objective to encourage collaboration and work towards the promotion of innovation and entrepreneurship.
- iii. National Programme on High Efficiency Solar PV Modules, a Production Linked Incentive Scheme with an outlay of Rs. 4,500 crores to support and promote manufacturing of high efficiency solar PV modules including the upstage  vertical  components  like  cells,  wafers,  ingots  and  polysilicon  in India and thus reduce the import dependence in Solar Photo Voltaic (PV) sector, is implemented by Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE).
- iv. Preference to 'Make in India' in Public Procurement in Renewable Energy Sector: Ministry of  New  &  Renewable  Energy vide its Order No. 283/22/2019-GRID SOLAR dated 09.02.2021, has inter-alia, prescribed that in public procurement of items in respect of which there is sufficient local capacity and local competition, only Class-I local supplier shall be eligible to bid.  Class-I  local  supplier  means  a  supplier  or  service  provider,  whose goods, services or works offered for procurement, has local content equal to or more than 50%. Solar PV modules are one of the products identified as having sufficient local capacity and competition.
- v. Launch of National Green Hydrogen Mission on 15 th  August, 2021, to scale up Green Hydrogen production and utilisation and to align India's efforts with global best practices in technology, policy and regulation.
- vi. Ministry of New & Renewable Energy is also implementing schemes like PM-KUSUM (Kisan Urja Suraksha evam Utthaan Mahabhiyan) scheme with objective to provide clean energy to more than 35 lakh farmers by solarising their  agriculture  pump,  Solar  rooftop  scheme  for  residential  as  well  as commercial  sector  with  the  objective  of  ensuring  reliability  of  Solar  PV manufacturers  and  to  protect  the  consumer  interests  and  ensure  larger energy security of the country, Approved List of Models and Manufacturers

(ALMM)  of  solar  photovoltaic  cells  &  modules,  Green  Energy  Corridor Project  which  aims  at  synchronizing  electricity  produced  from  renewable sources, such as solar and wind, with conventional power stations in the grid.

- vii. To encourage use of locally available materials and of Green Technologies for  construction  of  road  under  Pradhan  Mantri  Gram  Sadak  Yojana (PMGSY), Ministry of Rural Development has issued guidelines, wherein the State Governments are required to propose minimum 15% of total length of annual proposals under New technologies such as Cement stabilization, Lime stabilization, Cold mix, Waste plastics, Cell filled concrete, Paneled cement concrete pavement, Fly ash etc. Further, specifications are relaxed as regards to grading of materials for Granular Sub Base layer in order to encourage the usage of locally available/naturally occurring material/marginal materials.
- viii. Ministry of Railways  is  manufacturing  12000  Horse  Power  Electric Locomotives of Insulated Gate Bipolar Transistor (IGBT) Technology having regenerative braking feature. Bio-toilets, based on the indigenously developed  design/technology  in  association  with  Defence  Research  and Development Organisation (DRDO) are adopted by Indian Railways.
- ix. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highway has taken various initiatives like  issuance  of  notification  for  exempting  Battery  Operated  Vehicles  for permit,  use  of  ethanol  mixed  fuels,  issuance  of  Advisory  on  Linking  of Pollution Under Control (PUC) data (emission related data) with the VAHAN database,  advisory  to  States/  UTs  to  comply  with  the  guidelines  and facilitate electronic uploading of emissions test data to VAHAN database, Issuance of Notification regarding Registration Mark of Battery Operated Vehicles,  Allowing M 15 (15%) Methanol blending with Gasoline, Methanol can be used as an alternative transportation fuel thereby reducing Import dependence to some extent, Notifying Emission Standards for Construction Equipment Vehicles and Tractors which would help in ensuring environment friendly  construction  /  mining  activities,  Notifying  regarding  inclusion  of Quadricycles as Non-Transport Vehicles.
- x. The Department of Science and Technology has also initiated various Clean Energy Research Initiative (CERI) like Technology Development Scheme which aims to develop national research competence to drive down the cost of  clean  energy  through  pre-competitive  translational  research,  oriented research  led  disruptive  innovations  &  human  and  institutional  capacity development. CERI is akin to a nursery keeper, who intends to nourishing as many seeds and saplings as feasible, hoping for a fruit yielding tree one day.  CERI  intends  to  nurture  S&T  led  breakthroughs  to  feed  in  national mission on solar energy.
- xi. The Department of Telecommunications has issued the various directions to  the  Telecom  Service  Providers  (TSPs)  for  use  of  Renewable  Energy Technologies (RETs) including the following:
6.  The TSPs should voluntarily adopt the RET solutions, energy efficient equipments and high capacity fast charging storage solutions etc. to meet the target for reduction of Carbon Footprint.
7.  The  Service  Providers  would  adopt  a  Voluntary  Code  of  Practice encompassing energy efficient Network Planning, infra-sharing, deployment of energy efficient technologies and adoption of Renewable Energy Technology (RET).
8.  Service  providers  should  evolve  a  'Carbon  Credit  Policy'  in  line  with carbon  credit  norms  with  the  objective  of  achieving  the  reduction  in carbon footprint target. The ultimate objective of achieving a maximum 50% over the carbon footprint levels of the base year in rural areas and achieving a maximum of 66% over the carbon footprint levels of the Base Year in urban area.
