The correct answer is: b) Tapi district.
The Ukai Thermal Power Plant is located in the Tapi district of Gujarat, India. It is the largest thermal power plant in Gujarat and the second largest in India. The plant has an installed capacity of 2,400 MW and is operated by the Gujarat State Electricity Corporation Limited (GSECL).
The Ukai Thermal Power Plant was commissioned in 1976 and has been in operation ever since. The plant uses coal as its primary fuel and has a coal handling capacity of 12,000 tonnes per hour. The plant also has a captive power plant that generates electricity to meet its own requirements.
The Ukai Thermal Power Plant is a major source of electricity for Gujarat. The plant supplies electricity to the state’s power grid and also to industries and other consumers. The plant is also a major source of employment for the people of the Tapi district.
The other options are incorrect because:
- Surat district is located in the south of Gujarat and does not have any major thermal power plants.
- Vadodara district is located in the central part of Gujarat and has a few thermal power plants, but they are not as large as the Ukai Thermal Power Plant.
- Kutch district is located in the north of Gujarat and does not have any major thermal power plants.
