The Indian government’s relatively slow progress in securing lithium reserves could be a big problem for the energy storage industry in the country, according to a senior official at Panasonic India, who said that this would mean the country would have to rely on imports from China.

“China securing its lithium ion reserves and India not doing as much in this area could be a big problem,” said Atul Arya, head, Energy Systems at Panasonic India. “There are two ways to do it. We can either do it in the way we are doing solar, where we are importing everything from China. There is no need to worry about anything, somebody else is making it, and we are only consuming.”

“But, if Make in India is a motto and we are serious about it, then we have to do a lot of things in terms of securing various commodities that go into it,” Mr. Arya added.

“And at the same time, we have to look at the other aspects such as the finance required to ramp up manufacturing, which means attracting investors, and upgrading the skills of the human resources. That is all required.”

“It’s like running your own kitchen,” he added.

“If you are cooking your own food, then you have to obviously worry about your groceries. But if you are happy with somebody delivering food, then you don’t need to have a kitchen itself, forget about groceries.”

Mr. Arya explained that India had moved substantially away from the prevalent lead acid batteries towards those based on lithium ion technology, which was far more efficient. He added that creating large scale batteries was not a simple matter of scaling up the batteries found in phones or laptops.

“The wheel was invented thousands of years ago, but we still have new types of wheels rolled out now and then,” he said. “They are technologically far superior, even when you look at the wheels on cars. That’s how it is with lithium ion technology. It’s not just about scaling it up. A cycle tyre and a bus tyre are two very different things. You have to do a lot more research and a lot more design and development work.”

Mr. Arya also said the government can do a lot on the policy and taxation side to boost the domestic energy storage sector.

“Today, storage is not really classified as a generation technology, but if you put it in a generation plant and you use the stored energy, does it become a generator component,” he said. “It’s not a transmission asset either, but it can be used in transmission. It is not a distribution asset, but it can be used there as well. We have a policy on ancillary services, but it does not cover storage based ancillary services.”

The Panasonic executive also said that there was scope for tax relief for the sector under the Goods and Services Tax (GST) regime, saying that the current tax rate is leading to higher costs.

“Lithium attracts 28% GST as of today,” Mr. Arya said. “This is the highest slab. And so, you can understand the impact on costs. There are many areas that are purely in the purview of the government where it can help the sector.”

Directions (6-10): Read each sentence to find out whether there is any grammatical or idiomatic error in it. The error, if any, will be in one part of the sentence. The number of that part is the answer. If there is ‘No error’, the answer is ‘e’ i.e., “No error”. (Ignore errors of punctuation, if any.)

 

  1. It was very bad enough (A)/ that he usually came to work late, (B)/ but coming in drunk was the last straw, (C)/ and I’m going to have to let him go. (D)/ No Error. (E)

(a) It was very bad enough

(b) that he usually came to work late,

(c) but coming in drunk was the last straw,

(d) and I’m going to have to let him go.

(e) No Error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. a

Exp. The error lies in the first part of the sentence i.e., part (A). It is to be noted that to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful, the adverb “very” should be omitted. The usage of “very” is superfluous as the correct syntax is [positive degree adjective + enough]. Enough as an adverb meaning ‘to the necessary degree’ goes after the adjective or adverb that it is modifying, and not before it as other adverbs do. It can be used both in positive and negative sentences. Hence, option (a) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. There are mothers and fathers (A)/ who will lie awake after the children fall asleep (B)/and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills, (C)/ or save enough for their child’s college education. (D)/ No error. (E)

(a) There are mothers and fathers

(b) who will lie awake after the children fall asleep

(c) and wonder how they’ll make the mortgage, or pay their doctor’s bills,

(d) or save enough for their child’s college education

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. e

Exp. The given sentence is grammatically correct and contextually meaningful. Hence, the most suitable answer choice is option (e).

 

  1. After Ravi (A)/ read the (B)/ magazines and newspapers, and watched the TV programme, he decided (C)/ to go out and meet some old friends. (D)/ No error. (E)

(a) After Ravi

(b) read the

(c) magazines and newspapers, and watched the TV programme, he decided

(d) to go out and meet some old friends

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. The error lies in part (B) of the sentence. To make the sentence grammatically correct ‘had’ should be added before ‘read’ because when two past events are mentioned in a single sentence, the first event requires past perfect tense while the second should be in simple past tense. Therefore option (b) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. He informed me (A)/ that our college would (B)/ remain closed tomorrow (C)/on account of Rakshabandhan. /(D) No error. (E)

(a) He informed me

(b) that our college would

(c) remain closed tomorrow

(d) on account of Rakshabandhan

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. c

Exp. The error lies in part (c) of the sentence. It is to be noted that in indirect speech if we report something around the same time, then we probably do not need to make any changes to time words. But if we report something at a different time, we need to change time words. e.g. He said: “We are going to swim tomorrow.” → He said they were going to swim the next day. Hence, option (c) becomes the most suitable answer choice.

 

  1. A duty to act exists (A)/ when it would be apparent for a public officer (B)/ that his failure to act would likely subject (C)/ an identifiable person to imminent harm. (D)/ No error. (E)

(a) A duty to act exists

(b) when it would be apparent for a public officer

(c) that his failure to act would likely subject

(d) an identifiable person to imminent harm

(e) No error

Answer & Explanation
Ans. b

Exp. Part (B) of the sentence contains an error in it. In order to make the sentence grammatically correct and contextually meaningful replace the preposition ‘for’ with ‘to’ as the prepositions associated with the adjective “apparent” are ‘to’ and ‘in’. Therefore, the most suitable answer choice becomes option (b).
