Recent global conflicts have underscored the importance of domestic Strategic Petroleum Reserves (SPR). With reference to India's SPR programme, consider the following statements:
- AOnly 1
- BOnly 2
- CBoth 1 and 2
- DNeither 1 nor 2
Answer and explanation
Correct answer: B
Phase-I caverns aren't confined to the west coast: Visakhapatnam sits on the east coast, while Mangalore and Padur are on the west, so statement 1 is wrong. Statement 2 is right, as the Indian Strategic Petroleum Reserves Limited is a Special Purpose Vehicle set up to build and run these crude storage facilities.
