NIPU-2026 primarily aims to promote investment in which of the following sectors?

Question

TodaySprint · Accepted Answer

The correct answer is Option D: Gas-based urea manufacturing plants. NIPU-2026 was approved by the Cabinet Committee on Economic Affairs (CCEA) to promote investment in new gas-based urea manufacturing plants. The policy replaces the New Investment Policy (NIP)-2012, whose investment window closed in October 2019. NIPU-2026 aims to increase domestic urea production, reduce import dependence, and strengthen fertilizer self-reliance. The policy introduces a transparent framework by separating fixed costs and variable costs for urea projects. NIPU-2026 provides a Return on Equity (RoE) ranging from 12% to 16% to improve investment viability. To reduce exchange-rate risk, fixed costs will be converted into Indian Rupees after four years. Under NIP-2012, six new urea manufacturing units were established, including four through public sector joint ventures and two by private companies. The government estimates that each new plant established under NIPU-2026 could save more than ₹250 crore compared with projects approved under NIP-2012.
