\nThe correct answer is B) 2 only.
\n<\/section>\n
\nStatement 1 is incorrect. At the time this question was likely framed (or based on standard knowledge from that period), Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan was considered the largest solar park in India (and one of the largest in the world) in terms of commissioned capacity. While Gujarat has significant solar capacity, it did not host the single largest solar park.
\nStatement 2 is correct. Cochin International Airport in Kerala is renowned for being the world’s first airport to be fully powered by solar energy, starting its solar power project operations in 2015.
\nStatement 3 is incorrect. As of around 2022, the largest floating solar projects in India were located in states like Telangana (NTPC Ramagundam) or Kerala (NTPC Kayamkulam), not Goa.
\n<\/section>\n
\nIndia has made significant strides in solar energy capacity addition, with large solar parks and innovative projects like fully solar-powered airports and floating solar installations. The rankings and sizes of projects can change as new capacity is commissioned.
