Your answer: —  ·  Correct: C

Explanation

The Ministry of Coal released the "Report on Floating Solar PV Potential Assessment of India" in July 2024. The report was developed by the Central Mine Planning and Design Institute (CMPDI), a subsidiary of Coal India Limited (CIL). The assessment focuses on identifying the potential for installing floating solar photovoltaic (PV) plants on water bodies, specifically targeting mine voids and other reservoirs within the coal sector's jurisdiction. This initiative is part of the Ministry's strategy to diversify into renewable energy and contribute to India's Net Zero emissions goal. While the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy (MNRE) is the nodal ministry for solar power generally, this specific potential assessment was a targeted study commissioned by the Ministry of Coal to utilize its own vast water-filled mine voids for green energy generation.
