Correct:
A
Explanation
The National Institute of Ocean Technology (NIOT) developed and demonstrated the Low Temperature Thermal Desalination (LTTD) process and established a pilot plant of 0.1 million litres (one lakh litres) per day capacity at Kavaratti in Lakshadweep. The CAG audit report explicitly states that NIOT established (May 2005) a one lakh litres per day LTTD plant at Kavaratti which produced potable water for the local population [1]. Independent technical summaries and island-focused reports also record that the pilot LTTD plant was commissioned and has been operational at Kavaratti since May 2005, marking it as the first such plant in India based on the LTTD principle.
