✅RBI’s Planned ‘Lightweight’ Payments and Settlement System

● Context: The Reserve Bank of India (RBI) recently announced plans to introduce a ‘Lightweight’ Payment and Settlement System (LPSS) for emergencies which was
proposed in RBI’s annual report for 2022-23.

● LPSS is independent of conventional technologies and wired networks that underlie
existing payment systems such as UPI, NEFT, and RTGS.

● As a part of the ‘Utkarsh 2.0’ initiative, RBI will put in place a resilient framework for
oversight of Centralized Payment Systems — NEFT and RTGS.

● LPSS for emergencies ensures resilience and continuity of payment and settlement systems during extreme and volatile situations.

● Lightweight system provides a portable and easily activated solution that can be operated remotely with minimal resources.

✅Salt Cavern Based Oil Reserves

● Salt caverns are underground spaces formed by dissolving salt in water through a process called solution mining.

● This method involves pumping water into areas with large salt deposits to dissolve the
salt and create caverns. Once the brine (water with dissolved salt) is removed, these caverns can be used to store crude oil.

● Salt cavern-based storage, which is considered cheaper and less labour and cost intensive than rock caverns, could add a new, much-needed chapter to India’s SPR story.

● Rajasthan, with its abundant salt formations, is considered the most suitable location in India for developing salt cavern-based strategic storage facilities.
