Attempt This Question
Not attemptedCorrect Answer: (b) 2 only
India’s largest solar park is the 2.25 GW Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, not in Gujarat, so Statement 1 is incorrect. Cochin International Airport in Kerala became the world’s first fully solar-powered international airport, so Statement 2 is correct. The biggest floating solar PV plant (at the time of the exam) is NTPC’s 100 MW project at Ramagundam, Telangana, not Goa, making Statement 3 incorrect. Therefore only Statement 2 is correct — option (b). ([edukemy.com](https://edukemy.com/blog/upsc-prelims-2022-question-84/?utm_source=openai))
