1. India permits 100% Foreign Direct Investment through the automatic route in most sectors, while certain sectors remain subject to government approval and other conditions.
2. Sector-specific restrictions on foreign investment may be associated with considerations such as national security, strategic assets, financial stability and sensitive information.

III. The National Single Window System facilitates investment by providing businesses access to multiple Central and State approvals through a common digital platform.

Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the above statements?

1. The existence of sector-specific restrictions does not, by itself, imply that India follows a uniformly restrictive approach towards foreign investment.
2. Investment facilitation and strategic regulation can operate simultaneously within the same foreign investment framework.
3. Providing a common platform for approvals necessarily eliminates regulatory uncertainty for foreign investors.

Select the answer using the code given below:

1. CAFE III provides additional compliance benefits for certain vehicle technologies, including battery electric vehicles, strong hybrids and flex-fuel vehicles, through prescribed super-credit multipliers.
2. Vehicles using specified alternative fuels may receive prescribed reductions in their reported CO₂ emissions for the purpose of calculating fleet-average performance under the norms.

III. An automobile manufacturer that falls short of its applicable fleet-average target, after accounting for permitted compliance mechanisms, may meet the resulting deficit by purchasing compliance credits from the Bureau of Energy Efficiency.

Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the above statements?

1. The regulatory framework recognises differences among vehicle technologies while calculating a manufacturer's compliance performance.
2. Compliance with the fleet-average standard can be influenced by both the characteristics of vehicles sold and the regulatory treatment accorded to specified technologies and fuels.
3. A manufacturer can avoid making any improvement in the fuel-efficiency or emissions performance of its vehicle fleet merely by purchasing compliance credits.

Select the answer using the code given below:

1. Green hydrogen is generally produced by using electricity from renewable sources to split water into hydrogen and oxygen through electrolysis.
2. The classification of hydrogen as “green” depends primarily on the purity of hydrogen produced, irrespective of the source of electricity used in its production.

III. The environmental benefits associated with green hydrogen are closely linked to the source of energy used for its production.

Which of the following inferences can be drawn from the above statements?

1. The environmental credentials of hydrogen production depend not merely on the hydrogen obtained, but also on the energy pathway used to produce it.
2. Hydrogen produced through electrolysis can be regarded as green irrespective of whether the electricity used is generated from renewable or fossil-fuel sources.
3. The distinction between different forms of hydrogen production can incorporate considerations relating to the energy source used in the production process.
