Read the following passage carefully:
In September 2024, the Ministry of Mines released the operational framework for the National Critical Minerals Mission (NCMM). Under this framework, a dedicated Critical Minerals Recycling Incentive (CMRI) scheme was instituted with a total financial outlay of ₹1,500 crore to run through 2029. The CMRI provides a direct capital subsidy of 25% for setting up secondary mineral processing facilities, provided that the facility processes at least three distinct critical minerals listed under Schedule A. However, state-owned public sector undertakings (PSUs) are exempted from this multi-mineral requirement, provided their annual processing capacity exceeds 10,000 metric tonnes. Furthermore, private entities operating within Special Economic Zones (SEZs) are explicitly excluded from claiming the capital subsidy if they already receive tax concessions under the SEZ Policy of 2005.
Based on the passage above, which of the following statements regarding the CMRI scheme is explicitly correct?
- State-owned public sector undertakings with an annual processing capacity exceeding 10,000 metric tonnes are exempt from the requirement to process at least three distinct critical minerals.Cevap
- BPrivate entities operating in Special Economic Zones are eligible for the 25% capital subsidy regardless of whether they receive benefits under the SEZ Policy of 2005.
- CAll secondary processing facilities receive a direct capital subsidy of 25% irrespective of the number of critical minerals they process.
- DPrivate entities must export at least half of their recycled critical mineral yield to qualify for financial incentives under the mission.
