In which state India’s largest floating solar power plant was setup?

Maharashtra
Andhra Pradesh
UttarPradesh

The correct answer is (a) Maharashtra.

India’s largest floating solar power plant is located in Bhadla Solar Park in the Bhadla village of Jodhpur district in the Indian state of Rajasthan. The plant has a capacity of 1,000 megawatts (MW) and was commissioned in December 2019. It is spread over an area of 1,000 acres (400 ha) and is the world’s largest floating solar power plant.

The plant was developed by Adani Green Energy Limited (AGEL) and is a part of the Bhadla Solar Park, which is one of the largest solar parks in the world. The park has a total capacity of 2,245 MW and is spread over an area of 5,000 acres (2,000 ha).

The floating solar power plant at Bhadla Solar Park is a significant step in India’s efforts to increase its renewable energy capacity. The plant will help to reduce India’s dependence on fossil fuels and will also help to improve air quality.

(b) Andhra Pradesh is home to the second largest floating solar power plant in India, which has a capacity of 100 MW.
(c) Uttar Pradesh is home to the third largest floating solar power plant in India, which has a capacity of 50 MW.
(d) Tamil Nadu is home to the fourth largest floating solar power plant in India, which has a capacity of 20 MW.
