Model Question Paper-I
English Language
Directions (Questions.1-10): Read the passage carefully and answer the questions given
below it. Certain words/phrases have been given in bold to help you locate them while
answering some of the questions.
Over the next five years, India faces one of the worlds biggest financing challenges:
bringing clean, affordable, reliable, water and energy to all, building the infrastructure for smart
cities to thrive and investing in enterprises that will provide livelihoods for an extra 10 million
jobseekers each year. Through all of this and beyond, a sustainable financial system is both a
necessity and an opportunity.
For too long, a myth has been allowed to take root in India that sustainability and finance
are at odds that taking account of environmental, social and governance (ESG) factors raises
costs, reduces returns and impedes development. Actual practice suggests the reverse. The
Small Industries Development Bank of India has found, for example, that loans to energy
efficient companies have a much better loan recovery rate than the norm. At IDFC, the
business case for sustainable finance is real and multifaceted: reduced risk, increased market
share, access to international finance, reduced reputational risks and enhanced brand value.
Sustainable finance is fundamentally about channeling capital to Indias real economy
needs. Take renewable. The fivefold increase in the countrys solar target to 100 GW of
installed capacity by 2022 will require unprecedented volumes of investment, perhaps as much
as $ 100 billion as per some estimates. Even though solar is approaching grid parity and offers
attractive long-term cash flows with zero fuel risk, many obstacles remain, not lease off take
risk. But bottlenecks in the financial system also exist. The inclusion of renewable in banks
power sector exposure limits means that credit capacity is often capped out.
The time is ripe for India to move the needle on sustainable finance both domestically and
internally. Together, Ficci and the UN Environment Programme (UNEP) Inquiry have formed
an Indian advisory committee to generate practical policy options for a sustainable financial

system. Harnessing the positive power of financial innovation is key, and this includes
mobilizing Indias debt and equity capital markets.
The demand for green bonds among the worlds institutional investors is soaring with
$34 billion being issued this year itself. Certification of what is green and awareness creation
on the benefit from green bonds for individual investors are needed. A Green Bond Market
Development Committee for India will soon be set up. On the equity side, the new
Infrastructure Investment Trusts offer thepotential to create Indias own yield co segment of
low-risk income-bearing clean energy securities.
Incentives will also be needed to overcome residual investment risks. But subsidies cannot
be the basis for sustainable finance in India. Key instruments could include guarantee and
credit enhancement mechanisms from national and international development banks to crowd
in private capital to, for instance, underpin payments to energy service companies, unlocking
the crucial efficiency market in India. Tax incentives could also be used to encourage
investment flows already used for the countrys de facto green bond leader, the Indian
Renewable Energy Development Authority (IREDA).
