00:01:15Let me tell you that today amidst the uproar of the opposition in the Lok Sabha,
00:01:19the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill 2026
00:01:22has been passed.
00:01:24and the opportunities that are created Amidst the uproar of the opposition, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented
00:01:27the Taxation and Other Laws Amendment Bill
00:01:34remains after farming, gas from the biogas plant 2026 for discussion and passing in the House. The objective
00:01:35will also be supported of the bill is to make India more attractive
00:01:37for global investors, promote the Make in India
00:01:41campaign and bring clarity in digital payments and tax
00:01:45system.
00:01:47and the sixth pillar is for innovation. It also aims to extend the tax exemption available to foreign
00:01:50companies till 2040-41 which provide machinery and
00:01:54equipment to an Indian factory and that
00:01:58factory manufactures specific
00:02:00electronic goods for them under contract manufacturing.
00:02:03The specific electronic goods mentioned in the bill include
00:02:07mobile phones, laptops, computers, tablets,
00:02:10servers and their main parts and accessories.
00:02:13The government's objective is to promote
00:02:16digital payments in the country and further encourage
00:02:20electronic transactions. Meanwhile, due to the continuous uproar
00:02:24of the opposition, the House remained deadlocked.
00:02:28The opposition was continuously demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah
00:02:31on the issue of theft of offerings at the Ram Temple in Ayodhya
00:02:35and police action on protesting students.
00:02:39Due to the uproar of the opposition, this bill
00:02:41could not be discussed.
00:02:48And today in Rajya Sabha, the Appropriation Bill No. 3/2026
00:02:54invest in it. was returned to Lok Sabha culture. by Rajya Sabha after discussion. Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman presented
00:02:58the Appropriation Bill No. 3/2026 for consideration and to be sent back
00:03:02to Lok Sabha. This bill
00:03:05is related to authorizing the additional government
00:03:09expenditure incurred during the financial year ending March 31, 2023,
00:03:13from the Consolidated Fund of India.
00:03:16During the brief discussion on the bill, members of Congress
00:03:20and some other opposition parties walked out of the House,
00:03:23demanding a statement from Home Minister Amit Shah regarding police action against
00:03:27protesting students. During the brief discussion on the bill,
00:03:30members raised various aspects related
00:03:34to the economy. Responding to the discussion, Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman
00:03:38said that the government has brought these supplementary demands
00:03:41for grants for additional expenditure in the year ending
00:03:45March 31, 2023. She said that
00:03:49the government has brought this additional budget
00:03:52on the recommendation of the Public Accounts Committee (PAC) and the PAC is headed
00:03:55by the leader of the opposition. And we take you directly to the cabinet
00:03:59briefing. It is related to gas. A very
00:04:02comprehensive scheme has been made and
00:04:05secondly, a decision has been taken for a four-lane
00:04:08highway in Assam. These two
00:04:12projects and schemes together amount to a total of 32 crore rupees.
00:04:15I will discuss them with you.
00:04:18We all know that about
00:04:2250% of India's natural gas consumption
00:04:25has to be imported.
00:04:28To reduce
00:04:30For many schemes, this 50% import,
00:04:32a token amount is kept once many efforts are continuously being made and we all know how
00:04:35geopolitical developments create a
00:04:39vulnerability in India, if there is serious geopolitical
00:04:42conflict, then sometimes the import of
00:04:46LNG can be disrupted, so how to reduce
00:04:49this dependence is the
00:04:52objective or if we can use
00:04:55proper bio agro resources of India,
00:04:58meaning after farming in villages, the
00:05:01biomass that remains or
00:05:04if we can use the cow dung of our
00:05:07cattle, many such
00:05:11wet materials use hote hain,
00:05:15unka agar proper use kar sake aur usse gas bana sake to
00:05:19then it can be a significant amount of gas to be
00:05:22generated
00:05:26scheme approve hui hai wo ek comprehensive scheme hai jisme six
00:05:29pillars jo compressed bio
00:05:32gas CBD compresed biogas
00:05:35banti hai city or agro
00:05:39waste ko dijest karne ke baad mein usko
00:05:43ferment karne ke baad mein to uske usse jo
00:05:48liye assured offtake ka pillar rakha gaya
00:05:51yani jo bhi manufacture karega
00:05:54biogas usko ek assured offtake yani
00:05:57uske product ko kharidne ki guarantee di jayegi
00:06:01when, for example, someone produces gas but cannot sell it,
00:06:04there is an uncertainty. To remove that uncertainty,
00:06:08an assured off-take, meaning a guarantee to
00:06:11buy, has been given in this. Second is
00:06:15price stability. The price of global oil,
00:06:18gas keeps fluctuating. So
00:06:21to ensure that biogas does not have to face
00:06:24such price volatility, an assured price system has been created
00:06:28and support will be given for the capital
00:06:31expenditure incurred in setting up biogas plants. Capex support will be provided
00:06:35and the fourth pillar is pipeline infrastructure,
00:06:38meaning the pipeline network required to transport
00:06:44to consumers
00:06:48in this scheme. The fourth pillar has been kept.
00:06:52The fifth pillar is for MSMEs and especially women-led
00:06:54MSMEs, for them credit guarantee
00:07:00For example, if someone wants to do it with new methods, wants to bring new technology
00:07:03into it, then they will be given a scope for innovation
00:07:07through the Challenge Fund. The scheme is based on these six pillars.
00:07:11The scheme is the Gobardhan scheme.
00:07:15In this, basically, the existing city gas
00:07:18pipeline distribution has already come,
00:07:21plus piped natural gas has also come in many places,
00:07:25in many cities of the country.
00:07:26All these will be connected with the biogas
00:07:30production
00:07:32centers.
00:07:36The capital support that will be provided will be up to
00:07:39Rs. 2 crore per TPD per day
00:07:43for the production plant.
00:07:46I told you about the pipeline infrastructure.
00:07:50For the credit guarantee loan given to MSMEs,
00:07:54about 85% of the loan will be guaranteed as a part of this
00:07:57program.
00:07:59This will be
00:08:02very helpful, especially for MSMEs to
00:08:06लिए,
00:08:12The target has been set to increase the production
00:08:15of compressed biogas (CBG) tenfold
00:08:19in the next decade. The target is to reach
00:08:22a production level of about five MMSCMD,
00:08:26five MMSCMD, five MMSCMD.
00:08:28This target has been set
00:08:32to reach this level.
00:08:35If we look at this from an environmental point
00:08:38of view, then this
00:08:40will save about 40 million tons of carbon
00:08:44dioxide emissions, 40
00:08:46million tons of carbon dioxide emissions,
00:08:507500 crore rupees national GDP ko joy add
00:08:54hoga or about one and a half lakh jobs will be created by
00:08:57this program, direct and indirect one and a half lakh jobs will be
00:09:01created, fossil fuel 10 million
00:09:04metric ton ko import karne ki zarurat nahi padegi, usko
00:09:08replace karke is compressed bio gas se but sari
00:09:12can be done and after
00:09:15extracting this gas, whatever remains
00:09:19is organic manure and it has very good
00:09:22value and very good properties so organic
00:09:26fertilizer that will be produced from this will be
00:09:30about 250 million metric
00:09:32tons.
00:09:35Today's second big decision is a very good, very critical project, a very important
00:09:39project of a highway in Assam. This is
00:09:42from Chariali, meaning just outside Guwahati, up to Tezpur.
00:09:46तक
00:09:51If we look at it in detail, Baheta
00:09:55Chariali is just outside Guwahati. Guwahati is where the red
00:09:58star is marked. From Guwahati, further
00:10:02towards
00:10:05Rautaa, from Rautaa to Tezpur, this is the section.
00:10:08Complete.
00:10:18NH15 which is located on the North Bank
00:10:21of Guwahati, I mean Brahmaputra.
00:10:55have to be built, there are many rivers, rivulets, distributaries,
00:10:58tributaries, many of them, there are many water bodies
00:11:02and it will be built with a very good, new construction technology
00:11:05and automatic advanced traffic
00:11:09management systems etc. will be installed in this project.
00:11:11जाएंगे,
00:11:16There are 15 major bridges in this project, 15 major
00:11:19bridges,
00:11:22complex project and about 30%
00:11:55very fast new projects are coming. Semiconductor
00:11:58industry has reached there, has been established. Many
00:12:02new power plants are coming. Oil and gas exploration projects are there.
00:12:06Assam is growing very fast in the manufacturing sector.
00:12:08Friends,
00:12:11in this historic third term of Honorable Prime Minister Shri
00:12:14Narendra Modi ji, the work of building a very good foundation
00:12:18for India is going on. Railways, highways,
00:12:21metro, airports, ports,
00:12:25ropes, if you look at the importance of all these,
00:12:29every one crore rupees that we invest in
00:12:32infra, it becomes a foundation for the middle class and for the country,
00:12:35and at the same time, it generates economic activity
00:12:39of about 3.6 crore rupees, and one crore
00:12:43investment leads to three to four employment, so
00:12:47that is a big
00:12:49employment generator for
00:12:51the economy.
00:12:56This is a very good chart. I have just kept it in front of you
00:13:00for information.
00:13:03How infra development happened before 2014
00:13:07and after 2014? Look at any parameter.
00:13:11For example, the topmost bar is the Freight Corridor.
00:13:15Dedicated Freight Corridor before 2015-14
00:13:19was zero and today it is 2843
00:13:22km, meaning all the
00:13:56defense exports were only ₹700 crore,
00:13:59today exports are ₹3800 crore, meaning
00:14:03in defense exports also, 98% of defense
00:14:06exports came after 2014.
00:14:09In inland waterways, cargo was only
00:14:1229 metric tons, million metric
00:14:15tons, today it is 218 million metric tons. There has been a growth
00:14:19of almost eight times, more than ten times.
00:14:22This also means that on any parameter, look, the expressway network
00:14:26was only 1000 kilometers, today it is 6700 kilometers.
00:14:30There were five waterways, today there are 32.
00:14:33PNG connections were 25 lakh, today they are 1.6
00:14:36crore. Tap water access was 25 lakh,
00:14:40that is now
00:14:43tap water access was in 17% of the homes, today
00:14:47it is in 80% of the homes. Renewable
00:14:50capacity increased from 54 gigawatts to 250 gigawatts.
00:14:53Metro rail
00:15:30that is, that means 69% of the railway electricification has been done after
00:15:332014, aims, MBBS ke seats,
00:16:08were created after 2014. Power capacity
00:16:11was 249 gigawatts, today it is 540 gigawatts, meaning double.
00:16:15India has added more capacity in these 10 years
00:16:18than it had before 2014.
00:16:22In these 12 years, crude
00:16:24steel capacity was the same at 109 million tons,
00:16:28now 222 million tons. More work
00:16:31has been done in 12 years than was done from independence
00:16:35to 2014. Coal production
00:16:38increased from 565 million tons to 1000 million tons.
00:16:4244% of the total coal production is in the last four
00:16:45years. On any parameter,
00:16:49the importance of infrastructure
00:16:52is because the future of the country depends on it.
00:16:56The growth parameter of the country depends on it
00:17:01for our middle classes, those opportunities are created by infra.
00:17:05Take the example of any country,
00:17:08take the example of our neighboring countries or the Southeast Asian Tigers,
00:17:12as they were called, take their example or
00:17:15take the example of the US before the Second World War or
00:17:19in Europe, Germany, France, take their examples
00:17:22or take the examples of the UK. In any country, when infra
00:17:25develops, only then does its growth momentum come.
00:17:29That is why Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi ji has continuously
00:17:32focused a lot on infra since 2014
00:17:35to strengthen the infra
00:17:37base. Infra is our base, fundamental infrastructure, in Hindi, if we say
00:17:41it, we call it fundamental infrastructure, meaning it is our foundation,
00:17:45our foundation, our base of the economy. That is why so much
00:17:48attention has been given to it. Thank you friends, I will
00:17:50take your questions. Thank you sir, a
00:17:54question from the first row from
00:17:57left Budoliya ji after
00:18:00him. Sir, I am Sachin
00:18:04Budoliya from Hindustan Samachar. My question is
00:18:07about this Gobardhan scheme. First, how much
00:18:11production of gas are you expecting
00:18:15from it? Secondly, will this gas
00:18:17be used only as cooking gas
00:18:21or also in vehicles or wherever CNG is used,
00:18:24or will there be any plan to mix it with CNG
00:18:27like E20?
00:18:28होगा
00:18:33Sir, I am Brahma Prakash from Zee News. My question
00:18:37is about this Gobardhan scheme, whether the plants that will be set up
00:18:40will be based on population in rural or
00:18:44urban areas, are there any conditions for it? Secondly,
00:18:48earlier, when biogas was made from cow dung, plants were first
00:18:52set up in the country. So is there any data from them
00:18:55about how much production is there from them? Thank
00:18:59you. First row, second
00:19:02row.
00:19:03Yes.
00:19:37the budget or how are you going to fund
00:19:39that
00:19:43? sir manchanda cnbc sir time period nahi bataya
00:19:47kitne saal ke liye ye
00:19:49next sir issan from money
00:19:53control sir what is
00:19:56the does this change the targets that you had set earlier
00:20:00about 5000 plants were to be constructed by by
00:20:042030 and 5% blending so because
00:20:19this question arises
00:20:32because the demand for milk in our country
00:20:36is not met by the supply. So where will
00:20:39this come from? Next row 47
00:20:42Sir,
00:20:45I am Tarun Sharma from Zee Business. Sir, you mentioned
00:20:48assured price.
00:21:06thank you 249 yes back side prakash pedashi from et now the
00:21:09goverdan goverdan scheme was launched in 2018
00:21:13so how is the new scheme different from the existing one and
00:21:17also or does it uh
00:21:21simple providing additional benefits and the existing
00:21:23framework?
00:21:26i think questions are over, thank
00:21:30you.
00:21:36Um, the complete ecosystem
00:21:39of compressed biogas was distributed
00:21:43among four ministries, distributed among four
00:21:46different ministries.
00:21:51it was an essential reform that we focus
00:21:54it in a concentrated ministry so that
00:21:58we can move forward in a focused manner. That's why
00:22:01the entire scheme has been brought under the Ministry of Petroleum and
00:22:04Natural Gas. Its base
00:22:08is not only cow dung, its base includes
00:22:11a lot of bio
00:22:14agro city, whatever
00:22:17bio waste there is, whatever
00:22:21bio by-product
00:22:24that is also its input. The bio-waste
00:22:28that comes in cities is also its input. So many types of
00:22:31bio-waste can be used in this.
00:22:35So, apart from
00:22:39animal cow dung, many
00:22:42other things can be added to it.
00:22:44है,
00:22:47The scheme that was run earlier was good.
00:23:20feed stock will be available, where a substantial
00:23:24amount of feed stock will be available, the plant will be located
00:23:28there. Then, as I told
00:23:31you, for this, the gas pipeline structure,
00:23:35the network of city gas pipeline will be integrated with it,
00:23:38and if any industry has a requirement, then
00:23:42the industry's requirement can also be met
00:23:45through this. That is, gas is gas,
00:23:48all kinds of uses of gas
00:23:52will be made
00:23:54of it.
00:23:57The price formula will be kept stable in a way.
00:24:01According to the price
00:24:05formula that has been made, it is
00:24:07₹2110 per MMBTU,
00:24:10₹2110 per MMBTU,
00:24:13it has been done on the basis
00:24:16of calorific value. MMBTU is a parameter of calorific value.
00:24:21This has been kept. If you look in kilograms,
00:24:25it is about ₹5 per kilogram of
00:24:27CBG. It has been kept in such a way that
00:24:31if the calorific value is less, the price will be less.
00:24:34If the gas is of good quality, then it will have a higher
00:24:37price.
00:24:42So a target of more than 10 times growth has been set.
00:24:45The scheme is launched immediately and there is no
00:24:48scope for delay in it.
00:24:53Rural and urban, I have covered. I have told the achievement so far.
00:24:56I have told when it will be launched. Allocation.
00:25:00In allocation, basically, whenever a scheme is approved,
00:25:03the approval of the scheme happens throughout the year.
00:25:07As you have seen, many types of schemes have come. Their
00:25:10budgetary allocation
00:25:13happens at the time of budget, then at the time of RE, then again at the time of budget
00:25:17of the next year.
00:25:22and after the cabinet approval of the scheme,
00:25:26then the approval for further expenditure is received. That's the way
00:25:30accounting system works in India. Rajesh, your
00:25:33question.
00:25:37Okay, I have taken all the questions.
00:25:40Time period, how many years is it for? It's a 10-year
00:25:43scheme. 10
00:25:44years.
00:25:48Thank you.
00:25:56So, the Union Minister was giving information about the cabinet decisions,
00:26:00as you saw, and the Gobardhan scheme
00:26:03has also been approved. Many big and important
00:26:06decisions, information about which was given by Union Minister Ashwini Vaishnav.
