Consider the following statements about Nano-DAP (diammonium phosphate):
Nano-DAP contains higher nitrogen proportion than other conventional DAP.
The Nano-DAP urea is more efficient than conventional DAP.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct
Ans: B
Exp:
An experiment on the efficacy of nano diammonium phosphate (DAP) by scientists from the Punjab Agricultural University (PAU) has found a substantial decrease in wheat yields compared to conventional nitrogen fertiliser application.
About Nano-DAP:
Nano fertiliser developed by IFFCO using nanotechnology
Statement 1 is Incorrect: Contents – 8% nitrogen (N), 16% phosphorus (P) vs 18% N, 46% P in regular DAP by volume.
Statement 2 is Correct: Tiny particle, size less than 100 Nanometre (nm), makes Nano DAP more efficient than its conventional counterpart, enabling the fertiliser “to enter easily inside the seed surface or through stomata and other plant openings”.
500ml nano-DAP equals 50kg conventional DAP
Nano-DAP cost ₹600/bottle vs ₹1350/50kg for subsidized DAP
IFFCO has 20-year patent – entitled to 20% royalty on global usage
Manufacturing facilities in Kalol, Kandla (Gujarat) and Paradeep (Odisha)
Expected to reduce annual subsidy bill on non-urea fertilizers
Provides benefits to farmers, industry players across production and distribution chain

Consider the following statements:
Statement-I: Indian Railways aims to become a net zero carbon emitter by 2070.
Statement-II: The Railways plans to require 30,000 MW of renewable capacity by 2029-30.
Which one of the following is correct in respect of the above statements?
Correct
Ans: D
Exp:
Indian Railways is exploring the use of nuclear power through captive units as it seeks to increase reliance on non-fossil fuel sources and renewable ones.
Railways’s Emission Goal:
Statement I is Incorrect: Indian Railways aims to become a net zero carbon emitter by 2030.
IR has taken a number of initiatives to reduce its carbon emissions which include use of energy efficient technologies like completely switching over to production of three phase electric locomotives with regenerative features, use of head on generation (HOG) technology, use of LED lights in buildings and coaches, star rated appliances and afforestation.
Statement II is Correct: To achieve this, the Railways plans to require 30,000 MW of renewable capacity by 2029-30.
As of February 2023, about 147 MW of solar plants (both on Rooftops and on land) and about 103 MW of Wind power plants have been commissioned.
Further, about 2150 MW of renewable capacity has also been tied up.
Hence, Statement-I is incorrect, but Statement-II is correct.
