India's clean energy transition is marked by ambitious targets and innovative technologies. Renewable Energy Capacity: India aims for 500 GW of renewable energy by 2030, with a potential increase to 1 TW by 2035. As of May 2024, installed capacity reached 191 GW, including 85 GW from solar power. Green Hydrogen Initiative: The National Green Hydrogen Mission targets 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030, significantly reducing emissions in heavy industries, which contribute over 30% of India's carbon emissions. Carbon Capture Technology: Implementing CCUS can mitigate emissions from industrial processes, addressing India's status as the third-largest CO2 emitter with approximately 2.6 GT per annum. Bioenergy Production: Utilizing agricultural waste and municipal solid waste for energy generation addresses both energy needs and waste management. India generates about 62 million tons of municipal solid waste annually. Intermittency Solutions: By 2030, India will require approximately 38 GW of battery storage to manage renewable energy intermittency effectively. Key Initiatives for Clean Energy Transition 1. National Solar Mission: Launched in 2010, part of the National Action Plan on Climate Change. Aims to achieve 100 GW of solar power capacity by 2022 (now extended to 300 GW by 2030). 2. National Wind-Solar Hybrid Policy: Introduced in 2018 to promote hybrid projects that combine wind and solar energy. Aims to optimize resource use and improve grid stability. 3. National Green Hydrogen Mission: Announced in 2022, targeting 5 million metric tonnes of green hydrogen production by 2030. Focuses on reducing emissions in heavy industries and promoting hydrogen as a clean fuel. 4. Perform, Achieve and Trade (PAT) Scheme: Launched under the National Mission for Enhanced Energy Efficiency. Encourages energy-intensive industries to improve energy efficiency through a market-based mechanism. 5. FAME India Scheme Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of Electric Vehicles (FAME): aims to promote electric vehicles (EVs) through subsidies and infrastructure development. Phase II, launched in 2019, has allocated ₹10,000 crore for EV adoption. 6. Atmanirbhar Bharat Abhiyan: The self-reliant India initiative includes provisions for boosting domestic manufacturing of solar panels and batteries. Aims to reduce dependency on imports and enhance local capabilities. 7. National Biofuel Policy: Aims to achieve 20% blending of ethanol in petrol by 2025. Promotes the use of biofuels, including biodiesel and bioethanol, derived from agricultural waste. 8. State Action Plans on Climate Change (SAPCC): Each state is required to prepare its own action plan focusing on renewable energy and climate resilience. Encourages local initiatives tailored to regional needs.

Article 6A:-. [ Special provisions as to citizenship of persons covered by the Assam Accord.] Article 6A of the Citizenship Act was inserted by the Citizenship (Amendment) Act, 1985. Purpose:- Section 6A was introduced to address the citizenship status of people who migrated from Bangladesh to Assam. Provisions:- Section 6A granted citizenship to people of Indian origin who came to Assam before January 1, 1966. It also granted citizenship to people who came to Assam between January 1, 1966, and March 25, 1971, after 10 years of residence. People who came to Assam after March 25, 1971, were to be deported. Justice Pardiwala, the sole dissenter, held that the provision was unconstitutional and clarified that it had a prospective effect.

Source: Indian Express Quite informative fact. FY 2023-24 (Centre) Tax to GDP Ratio: 11.7% Direct Tax to GDP ratio: 6.6% Indirect Tax to GDP ratio: 5.1% Proportion of Direct : Indirect tax = 56.7: 43.3 [States tax to GDP ratio is approx. 5.5% of GDP] FY 2024-25: (Provisional) Centre Personal: Rs. 11.87 lakh crore Corporate: Rs. 10.2 lakh crore GST: Rs. 10.6 lakh crore Other Indirect taxes (Customs, Excise...): Rs. 5.5 lakh crore Our Personal income tax is progressive while Corporate income tax is proportional. But Indirect taxes (GST & others) are regressive. So, it is always a better policy that tax collection should be more from direct taxes (as compared to indirect taxes) which is exactly happening in the economy. Tax Buoyance (% change in tax revenue/ % change in nominal GDP) has crossed 2 which is very good sign for the economy. ~ Vivek Sir
