Consider the following statements:
1. Gujarat has the largest solar park in India.
2. Kerala has a fully solar powered International Airport.
3. Goa has the largest floating solar photovoltaic project in India.
Which of the statements given above is/are correct?
Correct Answer :
2 only
Solution :
The correct option is 2 only.
Let us analyze each statement step-by-step to understand why this option is correct:
Statement 1: Gujarat has the largest solar park in India.
This statement is incorrect. As of the standard records (such as those from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy), the Bhadla Solar Park, located in the Jodhpur district of Rajasthan, is the largest operational solar park in India (and one of the largest in the world) with a capacity of 2,245 MW. While Gujarat has massive solar parks like the Charanka Solar Park and is developing the Khavda Renewable Energy Park, Rajasthan holds the record for the largest operational solar park.
Statement 2: Kerala has a fully solar powered International Airport.
This statement is correct. Cochin International Airport (COAL), located in Nedumbassery, Kerala, became the world's first fully solar-powered airport in 2015. It is powered entirely by solar energy generated from its dedicated solar plants, earning it global recognition including the United Nations' "Champions of the Earth" award.
Statement 3: Goa has the largest floating solar photovoltaic project in India.
This statement is incorrect. The largest floating solar photovoltaic project in India is not in Goa. Ramagundam Floating Solar PV Project in Telangana (100 MW) or the Kayamkulam project in Kerala have been among the largest, and even larger projects are developed in states like Madhya Pradesh (e.g., Omkareshwar Reservoir). Goa does not host the largest floating solar project in the country.
Therefore, only Statement 2 is correct, which makes 2 only the correct answer.
