Road Safety Audit is carried out for the independent assessment of newly constructed roads before opening them to commercial traffic. All identified road safety issues, including those related to road signages and markings, are addressed before the road is opened to the public. Subsequently, during the operation of the project highway, assessment is carried out at regular intervals to identify safety issues that may have emerged during operation stage and any necessary remedial measures are taken in a time-bound manner. Besides this, accident data on all existing and new National Highways is monitored on a pan- India basis through the eDAR (electronic Detailed Accident Report) portal, and accident spots are identified. Further, field officers have been delegated powers to take advance remedial action on these identified accident spots, preventing them from being converted to blackspots. Also, identified blackspots are rectified by carrying out short-term 12.02.2026 820 measures like road markings, signages, crash barriers, road studs, delineators, closure of unauthorized median openings, traffic calming measures, etc. in a time bound manner. Further, long-term measures like improvement of road geometrics, junction improvements, spot widening of carriageway, construction of underpasses/overpasses, etc. are also taken as permanent rectification measures based on road safety audit report and site conditions. Furthermore, Government has formulated a multi-pronged strategy to address the issue of road safety based on 4E's i.e. Education, Engineering (both of roads and vehicles), Enforcement and Emergency Care, details of which are given in the enclosed Statement-III.

(b): The TEAM Initiative promotes a wide spectrum of activities designed to digitally enable Micro, Small Enterprises (MSEs) and strengthen their participation in e-commerce through the Open Network for Digital Commerce (ONDC). It begins with digital onboarding, where MSEs register on the TEAM portal and are supported in creating ONDC-compliant digital catalogues through empanelled Seller Network Participants, enabling seamless access to the open, interoperable ONDC ecosystem and its benefits such as increased visibility, wider market reach, and reduced cost of doing business. Through ONDC’s 12.02.2026 852 decentralized framework, MSEs can tap into multiple buyer apps, enhanced market linkages, and transparent digital transactions, significantly improving their competitiveness in the digital marketplace. To strengthen MSE readiness, the initiative conducts capacity-building workshops across the country, combining awareness sessions, live demonstrations, and on-the-spot registration support, ensuring more MSMEs can join and benefit from the network efficiently. Further, logistics enablement is provided via transportation subsidies that reduce early fulfilment costs for MSEs as they begin receiving orders on ONDC, easing their transition into e-commerce operations. Complemented by demand generation, digital marketing, and market linkage support, the initiative ensures that MSEs not only join the digital ecosystem but also sustain and grow within it, unlocking the full benefits of e-commerce participation. (c) and (d): MSME TEAM Initiative scheme is aimed at driving business growth outcomes for MSMEs, primarily measured through number of transactions (number of sales) undertaken by MSME. Majority of MSMEs under the TEAM scheme have been onboarding within the current year (2025-26) (Till 09th February 2026). The Sate-wise number of transactions (number of sales) undertaken by MSME in TEAM Initiatives is given in the enclosed Statement-II.

(b) and (c): With an objective to broaden the scope of the scheme to incorporate Advanced Biofuels including Third Generation (3G) Ethanol, the Government has amended the PM JI-VAN Yojana in 2024 to provide financial support for setting up Advanced Biofuels projects in the country using lignocellulosic biomass and other renewable feedstock. The PM JI-VAN scheme envisages setting up of about 12 commercial Advanced Biofuel Projects and about 10 demonstration scale Advanced Biofuel Projects. The purpose of supporting Demonstration projects is to enthuse Technology providers to display viability & performance of their novel technologies thereby indigenization of advanced biofuel technologies and to address, inter-alia, the challenge of higher conversion process cost of lignocellulosic biomass to ethanol as compared to the conventional molasses to ethanol process. Indian Oil Corporation Limited 12.02.2026 867 (IOCL) has established a 3G ethanol plant of 128 Kilo litre per day capacity at Panipat, Haryana, using refinery off-gas as feedstock, which is currently under stabilization. Department of Biotechnology (DBT) has informed that they have supported research and innovation projects focused on developing technologies to enhance the conversion efficiency of ethanol made from lignocellulosic biomass by providing advanced biocatalytic solutions and indigenous bioprocesses. DBT through Biotechnology Industry Research Assistance Council (BIRAC) has supported setting up of a 10 tonnes lignocellulosic biomass per day processing plant to produce about 3,000 litres of ethanol per day and the development of a novel cocktail of cellulosic enzymes. IOCL R&D has also developed a 2G ethanol technology with integrated enzyme production and mechanically completed a 10 tonnes per day demonstration plant at Panipat, integrated with onsite enzyme production, utilizing biomass feedstocks such as rice straw, wheat straw, and bagasse.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF HOUSING AND URBAN AFFAIRS (SHRI TOKHAN SAHU): (a) to (d): Ministry of Housing and Urban Affairs (MoHUA) has been implementing Pradhan Mantri Awas Yojana – Urban (PMAY-U) since 25.06.2015 with an aim to provide all weather pucca houses with basic civic amenities to all eligible urban beneficiaries including slum dwellers across the country. Based on the learnings from the experiences of implementation of PMAY-U, MoHUA has revamped the scheme and launched PMAY-U 2.0 ‘Housing for All’ Mission with effect from 01.09.2024 for implementation in urban areas across the country to construct, purchase and rent a house by 1 crore additional eligible beneficiaries at affordable cost in next five years. PMAY-U 2.0 12.02.2026 869 is implemented through four verticals i.e., Beneficiary Led Construction (BLC), Affordable Housing in Partnership (AHP), Affordable Rental Housing (ARH) and Interest Subsidy Scheme (ISS). PMAY-U and PMAY-U 2.0 adopts a demand driven approach wherein States/Union Territories (UTs) assess the requirement through their Urban Local Bodies (ULBs)/Implementing Agencies in their respective jurisdictions. Eligible citizens are also allowed to apply through Unified Web Portal of PMAY-U 2.0 with all details on the portal. States/UTs/ULBs validate the beneficiaries as per the eligibility criteria of the scheme guidelines and selection/scrutiny of beneficiary lists are done at multiple levels in the States/UTs. The Scheme Guidelines and Unified Web Portal for submitting the online applications can be accessed through https://pmay-urban.gov.in. Based on the demand survey and selection of beneficiaries, the project proposals are prepared and approved by the State Level Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (SLSMC) headed by the Chief Secretary of States/UTs for further consideration of release of Central Assistance by the Central Sanctioning and Monitoring Committee (CSMC). Based on the project proposal submitted by States/UTs, a total of 122.28 lakh houses including 10.66 lakh under PMAY-U 2.0, have been sanctioned by the Ministry, so far across the country including Tier-II cities and peri-urban areas. Of the sanctioned houses, 114.84 lakh houses have been grounded; of which 97.02 lakh are completed/delivered to the beneficiaries as on 22.01.2026. Out of the total sanctioned houses under the schemes, about 29 lakh houses have been sanctioned to slum dwellers. The State-wise details of number of 12.02.2026 870 houses sanctioned, grounded and completed including State of West Bengal are given in the enclosed Statement. The progress of the scheme can also be accessed on the PMAY-U dashboard (https://dashboard.pmay-urban.gov.in). Moreover, as per PMAY-U 2.0 guidelines, States/UTs are required to formulate ‘Affordable Housing Policy’ and adopt key reforms to attract private investment and create an enabling eco-system for augmenting the affordable housing stock in the country. Further, States/UTs are encouraged to ensure convergence of the scheme with various other Centrally Sponsored Scheme and Missions including Smart Cities Mission (SCM), AMRUT 2.0, PM SVANidhi, PM Surya Ghar: Muft Bijli Yojana etc. and other relevant schemes for provision of related infrastructure services.

SHRI VE. VAITHILINGAM: Will the Minister of CIVIL AVIATION be pleased to state: (a) whether the Government has evaluated a situation in which one airline 12.02.2026 893 controls a very large market share that may result in systemic vulnerability including sudden service breakdowns and fare escalation during operational troubles; (b) if so, the details thereof along with the details of the Government's assessment on risks to national mobility including availability of flights to remote regions, protection of consumer interests and support for competition among carriers for balanced growth; and (c) whether the Government proposes to undertake structural reforms to encourage wider participation in the aviation sector through measures such as fair slot allocation, transparent route policies and safeguards to ensure uninterrupted air services even if a dominant airline faces operational strain and if so, the details thereof? THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF COOPERATION; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF CIVIL AVIATION (SHRI MURLIDHAR MOHOL): (a) to (c): The Government remains committed to promoting a balanced, competitive and resilient civil aviation ecosystem so that national connectivity is not adversely impacted by operational disruptions in any single airline. With the repeal of the Air Corporations Act, the Indian aviation sector has been fully deregulated, and airlines are free to operate flights and deploy capacity on routes based on their commercial viability and market considerations. At the policy level, capacity diversification is being encouraged through rationalisation of traffic rights, expansion of airport infrastructure, facilitation of fleet induction 12.02.2026 894 by multiple carriers, and broadening of regional air connectivity under the UDAN Scheme, which enables several airlines to operate on underserved and unserved routes. Additionally DGCA monitors airline schedules, crew-planning and operational preparedness to ensure that carriers maintain adequate resilience and contingency buffers. These measures collectively ensure that the growth of domestic connectivity is broad-based. Regional and remote area connectivity is supported through policy interventions such as the UDAN Scheme. Further, the Route Dispersal Guidelines (RDG) are in place to ensure balanced deployment of capacity across trunk, regional and remote routes, thereby supporting availability of air services to less-served areas alongside major routes.

THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF JAL SHAKTI; AND MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF RAILWAYS (SHRI V. SOMANNA): (a) to (e): Drinking water is a State subject. The power to plan, design, approve and implement drinking water supply schemes/projects lies with State Government. Government of India, in partnership with States/UTs is implementing Jal Jeevan Mission, since August, 2019, to make provision of tap water supply to every rural household. Under Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), the Department of Drinking Water and Sanitation provides financial, policy guidance and technical assistance to the States and Union Territories for implementing their drinking water supply schemes. As reported by the state government of Maharashtra and as per existing guideline of Jal Jeevan Mission (JJM), identification and possession of land for key infrastructure components such as Water Treatment Plants, Master Balancing Reservoirs (MBRs) and Elevated Storage Reservoirs are required to 12.02.2026 896 be completed prior to tendering and award of works. Further as reported by the state, under National Jal Jeevan Mission, Land required for construction of key infrastructure components was identified prior to tendering by obtaining resolution of all related Gram Panchayat, confirming availability of land. Land identification and procedure of possession of land required for Water Treatment Plants and Master Balancing Reservoirs is completed by the Implementation agency (M.J.P/Z.P). In case of Elevated storage Reservoirs (ESRs) land identification is carried out at the time of commencement of work. However, in some villages, ESR locations are subsequently changed based on resolutions of the concerned Village Panchayats due to local requirements and site suitability. The state has also reported that there are total 339 RPWS (11 schemes by MJP & 328 schemes by ZP) in Dhule District under the Jal Jeevan Mission during the year 2022. All the technical details of projects/schemes implemented under JJM is maintained at state level. For all works under JJM, third party inspection and certification before payment is mandatory. For the purpose, States have been empowered to empanel third party inspection agencies (TPIA) to check the quality of work executed by the agencies, quality of materials used for construction and quality of machinery installed in each of the scheme. The criteria for selection and Terms of References (ToR) of TPIAs to be empaneled by the States, is laid down in JJM Operational Guidelines. The details of quality checks done by TPIAs is also maintained at State Level. 12.02.2026 897 Government of India has undertaken ground-truthing of JJM schemes across States/UTs through Central Nodal Officers (CNOs) appointed by DoPT, the National JJM Team, and National WASH Experts (NWEs). These visits assessed multiple parameters, including quality of works, functionality of schemes, appropriateness of technical design, implementation progress, effectiveness of Third-Party Inspection Agencies (TPIAs), and grievance redressal mechanisms. Pursuant to the findings, this Department has advised all States/UTs to take appropriate administrative and legal action, wherever necessary, and to furnish detailed scheme-wise responses through the JJM- IMIS portal. As reported by the State of Maharashtra, action has been taken against 1 Departmental Officials and 5 contractors, out of 154 complaints. CONSTRUCTION OF ROADS UNDER BHARATMALA PARIYOJANA 2232.
