The Basic Act on Ocean Policy aims to “contribute to the sound development of the economy and society of our State and to improve the stability of the lives of citizenry as well as to contribute to the coexistence of the oceans and mankind.” It is based on the Basic Act on Ocean Policy, which was put into force on July 20, 2007. Japan’s basic stance on ocean policy was clarified based on the Act. For realizing a new Oceanic State, marine-related parties in various fields, with the Headquarters for Ocean Policy as its core, are expected to collaborate and cooperate with each other to strategically promote ocean policy. This plan is to be the very base for that purpose. In order to achieve such purposes, Japan has to firstly promote smooth and sustainable utilization of the marine zone where Japan can exercise its jurisdiction; Secondly, it is important that trade activities that support Japan’s industry and citizens’ life are maintained stably; Lastly, Japan needs to contribute to coping with panhuman issues, such as realization of sustainable development in the sea and formulation of international order for using marine resources.

The National Hydrogen Energy Roadmap provides an integrated blueprint for the long-term public and private efforts required for hydrogen energy development in the country. Discussed are solutions for utilising hydrogen energy to solve the country’s energy security problems and meet environmental quality standards. The Road Map is intended to provide information and guidelines to organisations in the public and private sectors and business and agencies in the Centre and the States and the non-government sector to become involved in a National Programme for bringing about the transition to a secure, clean and reliable hydrogen energy economy. The National Hydrogen Energy Road Map will be used for preparation of Action Plans and Programmes on different components of the hydrogen energy system, to realise the Vision of Hydrogen energy for India in the coming decades.

The objective of the Mission is to promote cities that provide core infrastructure and give a decent quality of life to its citizens, a clean and sustainable environment and application of ‘Smart’ Solutions. The focus is on sustainable and inclusive development and to create a replicable model which is meant to set examples that can be replicated both within and outside the Smart City. The core infrastructure elements in a Smart City would include: i. adequate water supply, ii. assured electricity supply, iii. sanitation, including solid waste management, iv. efficient urban mobility and public transport, v. affordable housing, especially for the poor, vi. robust IT connectivity and digitalization, vii. good governance, especially e-Governance and citizen participation,viii. sustainable environment, ix. safety and security of citizens, particularly women, children and the elderly, and x. health and education. The Mission will cover 100 cities and its duration will be five years (FY2015-16 to FY2019-20). The Mission may be continued thereafter in the light of an evaluation to be done by the Ministry of Urban Development (MoUD) and incorporating the learnings into the Mission.

The Plan aims to accelerate and sustain growth in the automotive sector and to steer, coordinate and synergise the efforts of all stakeholders.

The National Electric Mobility Mission Plan (NEMMP) 2020 aims to achieve national fuel security by promoting hybrid and electric vehicles in the country. There is an ambitious target to achieve 6-7 million sales of hybrid and electric vehicles year on year from 2020 onwards. Government aims to provide fiscal and monetary incentives to kick start this nascent technology. The Government plans to incentivize buyers while purchasing these hybrid and electric vehicles by providing monetary support. ---NOTE: xEVs stands for: Hybrid Electric Vehicle (HEV), Plug-in Hybrid Electric Vehicle (PHEV), Extended Range Electric Vehicle (ER-EV), and Battery Electric Vehicle (BEV).
