Q7412. The dominance of the powerloom sector in modern Indian textile production is primarily a conceptual application of which economic dynamic?
Explanation
The dominance of the powerloom sector in modern India is driven by the economic advantages of decentralization. Operating primarily in the unorganized sector, powerlooms benefit from lower overhead costs and greater operational flexibility compared to large, organized mills. This allows them to respond quickly to market changes and produce a significant portion of the country’s fabric more cost-effectively than traditional or large-scale alternatives.

Explanation
The Rajasthan government promotes hybrid projects that combine wind and solar energy at the same location. This strategy optimizes land use and creates a more stable power supply for the grid. Since solar generation peaks during the day and wind energy often reaches its highest levels at night or evening, the two sources complement each other, reducing overall supply variability.
