[00:01:07] में.
[00:01:15] Let me tell you that today amidst the uproar of the opposition in the Lok Sabha,
[00:01:19] the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill 2026
[00:01:22] has been passed.
[00:01:24] and the opportunities that are created Amidst the uproar of the opposition, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented
[00:01:27] the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill
[00:01:34] remains after farming, gas from the biogas plant 2026 for discussion and passing in the House. The objective
[00:01:35] will also be supported of the bill is to make India more attractive
[00:01:37] for global investors, promote the Make in India
[00:01:41] campaign and bring clarity in digital payments and tax
[00:01:45] system.
[00:01:47] and the sixth pillar is for innovation. It also aims to extend the tax exemption available to foreign
[00:01:50] companies till 2040-41 which provide machinery and
[00:01:54] equipment to an Indian factory and that
[00:01:58] factory manufactures specific
[00:02:00] electronic goods for them under contract manufacturing.
[00:02:03] The specific electronic goods mentioned in the bill include
[00:02:07] mobile phones, laptops, computers, tablets,
[00:02:10] servers and their main parts and accessories.
[00:02:13] The government's objective is to promote
[00:02:16] digital payments in the country and further encourage
[00:02:20] electronic transactions. Meanwhile, due to the continuous uproar
[00:02:24] of the opposition, the House remained deadlocked.
[00:02:28] The opposition was continuously demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah
[00:02:31] on the issue of theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya
[00:02:35] and police action on protesting students.
[00:02:39] Due to the uproar of the opposition, this bill
[00:02:41] could not be discussed.
[00:02:48] And today in Rajya Sabha, the Appropriation Bill No. 3/2026
[00:02:54] invest in it. was returned to Lok Sabha culture. by Rajya Sabha after discussion. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented
[00:02:58] the Appropriation Bill No. 3/2026 for consideration and to be sent back
[00:03:02] to Lok Sabha. This bill
[00:03:05] is related to authorizing the additional government
[00:03:09] expenditure incurred during the financial year ending March 31, 2023,
[00:03:13] from the Consolidated Fund of India.
[00:03:16] During the brief discussion on the bill, members of Congress
[00:03:20] and some other opposition parties walked out of the House,
[00:03:23] demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police action against
[00:03:27] protesting students. During the brief discussion on the bill,
[00:03:30] members raised various aspects related
[00:03:34] to the economy. Responding to the discussion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
[00:03:38] said that the government has brought these supplementary demands
[00:03:41] for grants for additional expenditure in the year ending
[00:03:45] March 31, 2023. She said that
[00:03:49] the government has brought this additional budget
[00:03:52] on the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the PAC is headed
[00:03:55] by the leader of the opposition. And we take you directly to the cabinet
[00:03:59] briefing. It is related to gas. A very
[00:04:02] comprehensive scheme has been made and
[00:04:05] secondly, a decision has been taken for a four-lane
[00:04:08] highway in Assam. These two
[00:04:12] projects and schemes together amount to a total of 32 crore rupees.
[00:04:15] I will discuss them with you.
[00:04:18] We all know that about
[00:04:22] 50% of India's natural gas consumption
[00:04:25] has to be imported.
[00:04:28] To reduce
[00:04:30] For many schemes, this 50% import,
[00:04:32] a token amount is kept once many efforts are continuously being made and we all know how
[00:04:35] geopolitical developments create a
[00:04:39] vulnerability in India, if there is serious geopolitical
[00:04:42] conflict, then sometimes the import of
[00:04:46] LNG can be disrupted, so how to reduce
[00:04:49] this dependence is the
[00:04:52] objective or if we can use
[00:04:55] proper bio agro resources of India,
[00:04:58] meaning after farming in villages, the
[00:05:01] biomass that remains or
[00:05:04] if we can use the cow dung of our
[00:05:07] cattle, many such
[00:05:11] wet materials use hote hain,
[00:05:15] unka agar proper use kar sake aur usse gas bana sake to
[00:05:19] then it can be a significant amount of gas to be
[00:05:22] generated
[00:05:26] scheme approve hui hai wo ek comprehensive scheme hai jisme six
[00:05:29] pillars jo compressed bio
[00:05:32] gas CBD compresed biogas
[00:05:35] banti hai city or agro
[00:05:39] waste ko dijest karne ke baad mein usko
[00:05:43] ferment karne ke baad mein to uske usse jo
[00:05:48] liye assured offtake ka pillar rakha gaya
[00:05:51] yani jo bhi manufacture karega
[00:05:54] biogas usko ek assured offtake yani
[00:05:57] uske product ko kharidne ki guarantee di jayegi
[00:06:01] when, for example, someone produces gas but cannot sell it,
[00:06:04] there is an uncertainty. To remove that uncertainty,
[00:06:08] an assured off-take, meaning a guarantee to
[00:06:11] buy, has been given in this. Second is
[00:06:15] price stability. The price of global oil,
[00:06:18] gas keeps fluctuating. So
[00:06:21] to ensure that biogas does not have to face
[00:06:24] such price volatility, an assured price system has been created
[00:06:28] and support will be given for the capital
[00:06:31] expenditure incurred in setting up biogas plants. Capex support will be provided
[00:06:35] and the fourth pillar is pipeline infrastructure,
[00:06:38] meaning the pipeline network required to transport
[00:06:44] to consumers
[00:06:48] in this scheme. The fourth pillar has been kept.
[00:06:52] The fifth pillar is for MSMEs and especially women-led
[00:06:54] MSMEs, for them credit guarantee
[00:07:00] For example, if someone wants to do it with new methods, wants to bring new technology
[00:07:03] into it, then they will be given a scope for innovation
[00:07:07] through the Challenge Fund. The scheme is based on these six pillars.
[00:07:11] The scheme is the Gobardhan scheme.
[00:07:15] In this, basically, the existing city gas
[00:07:18] pipeline distribution has already come,
[00:07:21] plus piped natural gas has also come in many places,
[00:07:25] in many cities of the country.
[00:07:26] All these will be connected with the biogas
[00:07:30] production
[00:07:32] centers.
[00:07:36] The capital support that will be provided will be up to
[00:07:39] Rs. 2 crore per TPD per day
[00:07:43] for the production plant.
[00:07:46] I told you about the pipeline infrastructure.
[00:07:50] For the credit guarantee loan given to MSMEs,
[00:07:54] about 85% of the loan will be guaranteed as a part of this
[00:07:57] program.
[00:07:59] This will be
[00:08:02] very helpful, especially for MSMEs to
[00:08:06] लिए,
[00:08:12] The target has been set to increase the production
[00:08:15] of compressed biogas (CBG) tenfold
[00:08:19] in the next decade. The target is to reach
[00:08:22] a production level of about five MMSCMD,
[00:08:26] five MMSCMD, five MMSCMD.
[00:08:28] This target has been set
[00:08:32] to reach this level.
[00:08:35] If we look at this from an environmental point
[00:08:38] of view, then this
[00:08:40] will save about 40 million tons of carbon
[00:08:44] dioxide emissions, 40
[00:08:46] million tons of carbon dioxide emissions,
[00:08:50] 7500 crore rupees national GDP ko joy add
[00:08:54] hoga or about one and a half lakh jobs will be created by
[00:08:57] this program, direct and indirect one and a half lakh jobs will be
[00:09:01] created, fossil fuel 10 million
[00:09:04] metric ton ko import karne ki zarurat nahi padegi, usko
[00:09:08] replace karke is compressed bio gas se but sari
[00:09:12] can be done and after
[00:09:15] extracting this gas, whatever remains
[00:09:19] is organic manure and it has very good
[00:09:22] value and very good properties so organic
[00:09:26] fertilizer that will be produced from this will be
[00:09:30] about 250 million metric
[00:09:32] tons.
[00:09:35] Today's second big decision is a very good, very critical project, a very important
[00:09:39] project of a highway in Assam. This is
[00:09:42] from Chariali, meaning just outside Guwahati, up to Tezpur.
[00:09:46] तक
[00:09:51] If we look at it in detail, Baheta
[00:09:55] Chariali is just outside Guwahati. Guwahati is where the red
[00:09:58] star is marked. From Guwahati, further
[00:10:02] towards
[00:10:05] Rautaa, from Rautaa to Tezpur, this is the section.
[00:10:08] Complete.
[00:10:18] NH15 which is located on the North Bank
[00:10:21] of Guwahati, I mean Brahmaputra.
[00:10:55] have to be built, there are many rivers, rivulets, distributaries,
[00:10:58] tributaries, many of them, there are many water bodies
[00:11:02] and it will be built with a very good, new construction technology
[00:11:05] and automatic advanced traffic
[00:11:09] management systems etc. will be installed in this project.
[00:11:11] जाएंगे,
[00:11:16] There are 15 major bridges in this project, 15 major
[00:11:19] bridges,
[00:11:22] complex project and about 30%
[00:11:55] very fast new projects are coming. Semiconductor
[00:11:58] industry has reached there, has been established. Many
[00:12:02] new power plants are coming. Oil and gas exploration projects are there.
[00:12:06] Assam is growing very fast in the manufacturing sector.
[00:12:08] Friends,
[00:12:11] in this historic third term of Honorable Prime Minister Shri
[00:12:14] Narendra Modi ji, the work of building a very good foundation
[00:12:18] for India is going on. Railways, highways,
[00:12:21] metro, airports, ports,
[00:12:25] ropes, if you look at the importance of all these,
[00:12:29] every one crore rupees that we invest in
[00:12:32] infra, it becomes a foundation for the middle class and for the country,
[00:12:35] and at the same time, it generates economic activity
[00:12:39] of about 3.6 crore rupees, and one crore
[00:12:43] investment leads to three to four employment, so
[00:12:47] that is a big
[00:12:49] employment generator for
[00:12:51] the economy.
[00:12:56] This is a very good chart. I have just kept it in front of you
[00:13:00] for information.
[00:13:03] How infra development happened before 2014
[00:13:07] and after 2014? Look at any parameter.
[00:13:11] For example, the topmost bar is the Freight Corridor.
[00:13:15] Dedicated Freight Corridor before 2015-14
[00:13:19] was zero and today it is 2843
[00:13:22] km, meaning all the
[00:13:56] defense exports were only ₹700 crore,
[00:13:59] today exports are ₹3800 crore, meaning
[00:14:03] in defense exports also, 98% of defense
[00:14:06] exports came after 2014.
[00:14:09] In inland waterways, cargo was only
[00:14:12] 29 metric tons, million metric
[00:14:15] tons, today it is 218 million metric tons. There has been a growth
[00:14:19] of almost eight times, more than ten times.
[00:14:22] This also means that on any parameter, look, the expressway network
[00:14:26] was only 1000 kilometers, today it is 6700 kilometers.
[00:14:30] There were five waterways, today there are 32.
[00:14:33] PNG connections were 25 lakh, today they are 1.6
[00:14:36] crore. Tap water access was 25 lakh,
[00:14:40] that is now
[00:14:43] tap water access was in 17% of the homes, today
[00:14:47] it is in 80% of the homes. Renewable
[00:14:50] capacity increased from 54 gigawatts to 250 gigawatts.
[00:14:53] Metro rail
[00:15:30] that is, that means 69% of the railway electricification has been done after
[00:15:33] 2014, aims, MBBS ke seats,
[00:16:08] were created after 2014. Power capacity
[00:16:11] was 249 gigawatts, today it is 540 gigawatts, meaning double.
[00:16:15] India has added more capacity in these 10 years
[00:16:18] than it had before 2014.
[00:16:22] In these 12 years, crude
[00:16:24] steel capacity was the same at 109 million tons,
[00:16:28] now 222 million tons. More work
[00:16:31] has been done in 12 years than was done from independence
[00:16:35] to 2014. Coal production
[00:16:38] increased from 565 million tons to 1000 million tons.
[00:16:42] 44% of the total coal production is in the last four
[00:16:45] years. On any parameter,
[00:16:49] the importance of infrastructure
[00:16:52] is because the future of the country depends on it.
[00:16:56] The growth parameter of the country depends on it
[00:17:01] for our middle classes, those opportunities are created by infra.
[00:17:05] Take the example of any country,
[00:17:08] take the example of our neighboring countries or the Southeast Asian Tigers,
[00:17:12] as they were called, take their example or
[00:17:15] take the example of the US before the Second World War or
[00:17:19] in Europe, Germany, France, take their examples
[00:17:22] or take the examples of the UK. In any country, when infra
[00:17:25] develops, only then does its growth momentum come.
[00:17:29] That is why Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has continuously
[00:17:32] focused a lot on infra since 2014
[00:17:35] to strengthen the infra
[00:17:37] base. Infra is our base, fundamental infrastructure, in Hindi, if we say
[00:17:41] it, we call it fundamental infrastructure, meaning it is our foundation,
[00:17:45] our foundation, our base of the economy. That is why so much
[00:17:48] attention has been given to it. Thank you friends, I will
[00:17:50] take your questions. Thank you sir, a
[00:17:54] question from the first row from
[00:17:57] left Budoliya ji after
[00:18:00] him. Sir, I am Sachin
[00:18:04] Budoliya from Hindustan Samachar. My question is
[00:18:07] about this Gobardhan scheme. First, how much
[00:18:11] production of gas are you expecting
[00:18:15] from it? Secondly, will this gas
[00:18:17] be used only as cooking gas
[00:18:21] or also in vehicles or wherever CNG is used,
[00:18:24] or will there be any plan to mix it with CNG
[00:18:27] like E20?
[00:18:28] होगा
[00:18:33] Sir, I am Brahma Prakash from Zee News. My question
[00:18:37] is about this Gobardhan scheme, whether the plants that will be set up
[00:18:40] will be based on population in rural or
[00:18:44] urban areas, are there any conditions for it? Secondly,
[00:18:48] earlier, when biogas was made from cow dung, plants were first
[00:18:52] set up in the country. So is there any data from them
[00:18:55] about how much production is there from them? Thank
[00:18:59] you. First row, second
[00:19:02] row.
[00:19:03] Yes.
[00:19:37] the budget or how are you going to fund
[00:19:39] that
[00:19:43] ? sir manchanda cnbc sir time period nahi bataya
[00:19:47] kitne saal ke liye ye
[00:19:49] next sir issan from money
[00:19:53] control sir what is
[00:19:56] the does this change the targets that you had set earlier
[00:20:00] about 5000 plants were to be constructed by by
[00:20:04] 2030 and 5% blending so because
[00:20:19] this question arises
[00:20:32] because the demand for milk in our country
[00:20:36] is not met by the supply. So where will
[00:20:39] this come from? Next row 47
[00:20:42] Sir,
[00:20:45] I am Tarun Sharma from Zee Business. Sir, you mentioned
[00:20:48] assured price.
[00:21:06] thank you 249 yes back side prakash pedashi from et now the
[00:21:09] goverdan goverdan scheme was launched in 2018
[00:21:13] so how is the new scheme different from the existing one and
[00:21:17] also or does it uh
[00:21:21] simple providing additional benefits and the existing
[00:21:23] framework?
[00:21:26] i think questions are over, thank
[00:21:30] you.
[00:21:36] Um, the complete ecosystem
[00:21:39] of compressed biogas was distributed
[00:21:43] among four ministries, distributed among four
[00:21:46] different ministries.
[00:21:51] it was an essential reform that we focus
[00:21:54] it in a concentrated ministry so that
[00:21:58] we can move forward in a focused manner. That's why
[00:22:01] the entire scheme has been brought under the Ministry of Petroleum and
[00:22:04] Natural Gas. Its base
[00:22:08] is not only cow dung, its base includes
[00:22:11] a lot of bio
[00:22:14] agro city, whatever
[00:22:17] bio waste there is, whatever
[00:22:21] bio by-product
[00:22:24] that is also its input. The bio-waste
[00:22:28] that comes in cities is also its input. So many types of
[00:22:31] bio-waste can be used in this.
[00:22:35] So, apart from
[00:22:39] animal cow dung, many
[00:22:42] other things can be added to it.
[00:22:44] है,
[00:22:47] The scheme that was run earlier was good.
[00:23:20] feed stock will be available, where a substantial
[00:23:24] amount of feed stock will be available, the plant will be located
[00:23:28] there. Then, as I told
[00:23:31] you, for this, the gas pipeline structure,
[00:23:35] the network of city gas pipeline will be integrated with it,
[00:23:38] and if any industry has a requirement, then
[00:23:42] the industry's requirement can also be met
[00:23:45] through this. That is, gas is gas,
[00:23:48] all kinds of uses of gas
[00:23:52] will be made
[00:23:54] of it.
[00:23:57] The price formula will be kept stable in a way.
[00:24:01] According to the price
[00:24:05] formula that has been made, it is
[00:24:07] ₹2110 per MMBTU,
[00:24:10] ₹2110 per MMBTU,
[00:24:13] it has been done on the basis
[00:24:16] of calorific value. MMBTU is a parameter of calorific value.
[00:24:21] This has been kept. If you look in kilograms,
[00:24:25] it is about ₹5 per kilogram of
[00:24:27] CBG. It has been kept in such a way that
[00:24:31] if the calorific value is less, the price will be less.
[00:24:34] If the gas is of good quality, then it will have a higher
[00:24:37] price.
[00:24:42] So a target of more than 10 times growth has been set.
[00:24:45] The scheme is launched immediately and there is no
[00:24:48] scope for delay in it.
[00:24:53] Rural and urban, I have covered. I have told the achievement so far.
[00:24:56] I have told when it will be launched. Allocation.
[00:25:00] In allocation, basically, whenever a scheme is approved,
[00:25:03] the approval of the scheme happens throughout the year.
[00:25:07] As you have seen, many types of schemes have come. Their
[00:25:10] budgetary allocation
[00:25:13] happens at the time of budget, then at the time of RE, then again at the time of budget
[00:25:17] of the next year.
[00:25:22] and after the cabinet approval of the scheme,
[00:25:26] then the approval for further expenditure is received. That's the way
[00:25:30] accounting system works in India. Rajesh, your
[00:25:33] question.
[00:25:37] Okay, I have taken all the questions.
[00:25:40] Time period, how many years is it for? It's a 10-year
[00:25:43] scheme. 10
[00:25:44] years.
[00:25:48] Thank you.
[00:25:56] So, the Union Minister was giving information about the cabinet decisions,
[00:26:00] as you saw, and the Gobardhan scheme
