ETHANOL POLICY
 INTRODUCTION

Assam is the largest onshore producer of petroleum in the country, yet the State
is dependent on petroleum imports. India’s net import of petroleum was 185
million metric tons at a cost of US $55 billion in 2020-21 with a lion’s share of
its utilization having been in the transportation sector. In this regard, considering
the fact that ethanol is comparatively less polluting and offers equivalent
efficiency at lower cost than petrol; blending locally produced ethanol with petrol
has been conceived as the way out to strengthen the country’s energy security,
enable local enterprises and farmers to participate in the energy economy and
reduce pollution from vehicular emissions.
 OBJECTIVE

This policy aims to achieve the following objectives for the overall growth and
development of green-field new 100% ethanol manufacturing industrial units in the
State with a goal of providing remunerative returns to investors, farmers and all
other stakeholders:

• To allow production of Ethanol from all feed stocks permitted under National
Policy on Biofuels, 2018 and by the National Biofuel Coordination Committee.

• To offer fiscal benefits and provide an enabling environment in Assam for the
promotion of, and investment in, fuel-grade standalone new or green-field ethanol
manufacturing units by facilitating and financially incentivizing potential investors.

• To increase incomes of farmers producing feed-stock/ raw material which may be

used for Ethanol manufacturing.
• To create local employment opportunities through promotion of new Ethanol
industries.

ELECTRONIC VEHICLE POLICY
 INTRODUCTION

Government of Assam has taken several initiatives to ensure smooth

mobility, reduction of air pollution and mitigating climate change. Electric
Vehicles (EV) or e-mobility is proposed to be another step forward.
Adoption of Electric Vehicles (EVs) for road transport contributes to a wide
range of goals. These include better air quality, reduced noise pollution,
enhanced energy security and in combination with a low carbon power
generation mix - reduced greenhouse emissions. Government of India has
created momentum through its Faster Adoption and Manufacturing of
(Hybrid &) Electric Vehicles (FAME) schemes that encourage, and in some
segments mandates the adoption of electric vehicles (EV), with a goal of
reaching 30% EV penetration by 2030.
 VISION

Adoption of electric mobility as a tool to promote clean transportation

to ensure environmental sustainability and to create an ecosystem for
manufacturing EV components in Assam and to bring about
improvement in the air quality in Assam and the major cities in
particular
 OBJECTIVES
•To bring about a material improvement in Assam’s air quality by bringing
down emissions from transport sector. To do so, this policy will seek to
drive rapid adoption of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs) in a manner where
they contribute to 25% of all new vehicle registrations by 2026.

•To create robust infrastructure for electric vehicles including adequate

power supply and network of charging points with favorable power tariff.

•To create a pool of skilled workforce for the EV industry through the
technical intuitions available in the State and create new jobs in the EV
industry.

•To create a conducive environment for Industry and Research Intuitions to

focus on cutting edge research in EV Technologies and make Assam the
preferred destination for Electric Vehicle and component manufacturing.

NATIONAL BAMBOO MISSION
 NATIONAL BAMBOO MISSSION

What is the National Bamboo Mission?

About:
The restructured National Bamboo Mission (NBM) was launched during 2018-19 as
a Centrally Sponsored Scheme (CSS).
NBM mainly focuses on the development of the complete value chain of Bamboo sector
 to link growers with consumers starting from planting material, plantation, creation of
facilities for collection, aggregation, processing, marketing, micro, small & medium
enterprises, skilled manpower and brand building initiative in a cluster approach mode.
Objective:
To increase the area under bamboo plantation in non-forest Government and private
lands to supplement farm income and contribute towards resilience to climate change.
Connecting farmers to markets so as to enable farmer producers to get a ready market
for the bamboo grown and to increase the supply of appropriate raw material to the
domestic industry.
It also endeavours to upgrade skills of traditional bamboo craftsmen as per the
requirement of contemporary markets with a tie-up with enterprises and premier
institutes.

It also endeavours to upgrade skills of traditional bamboo craftsmen as per the

Potential of Bamboo
Significance:
The bamboo industry is witnessing a phase change by the opening of multiple avenues of
resource utilization.
Bamboo is a versatile group of plants which is capable of providing ecological, economic
and livelihood security to the people
Recently, the Prime Minister inaugurated the new terminal of the Bengaluru
(Kempagowda) Airport in which the versatility of bamboo as an architectural and structural
material has been proved and the destiny of this green resource defined as the ‘green
steel’.
Apart from using in the construction sector as design and structural element, the potential
of bamboo is multifaceted.
Eco friendly  mouldable granules from bamboo can replace the use of plastic. Bamboo is a
reliable source for the ethanol and bio-energy production due to its fast rate of growth
and abundance.
The market of Bamboo based lifestyle products, cutleries, home decors, handicrafts
and cosmetics also is in a growth path.
Other Initiatives to Promote Bamboo
Bamboo Clusters: The Union Minister for Agriculture and Farmers’ Welfare has virtually
inaugurated 22 bamboo clusters in 9 states viz. Assam, Gujarat, Madhya Pradesh,
Maharashtra, Odisha, Nagaland, Tripura, Uttarakhand and Karnataka.
MSP Hike: Recently, the Central government has revised the 
Minimum Support Price (MSP) for Minor Forest Produce (MFP).
MFP includes all non-timber forest produce of plant origin and includes bamboo,
canes, fodder, leaves, waxes, resins and many forms of food including nuts, wild
fruits, lac, tusser etc.
Removal of Bamboo from ‘Tree’ Category: The Indian Forest Act 1927 was amended in
2017 to remove bamboo for the category of trees.
As a result, anyone can undertake cultivation and business in bamboo and its
products without the need of a felling and transit permission.
Farmer Producer Organisations (FPOs): 10,000 new FPOs will be formed in 5 years.
FPOs engage in providing a range of assistance to farmers like imparting better
farm practices, collectivisation of input purchases, transportation, linkage with
markets, and better price realisation as they do away with the intermediaries.
 Who can apply?
•Applicant should be an FPO /SHG / Co-operative /Govt. agency /
Federations / SPV of micro food processing enterprises to bring
large number of producers together.

 MISSION INTERVENTION
The Mission will be demand driven and need based in each segment. Technology
will play an important role in different interventions. Technologies such as
information Communication Technology (ICT), Remote Sensing and Geographic
Information System (GIS) will be widely used for planning and monitoring purposes
All efforts will be made to utilize all the infrastructure created in the earlier NBM, if
required the permanent assets to be transferred to the nominated nodal
