India Reaches 250 GW Non-Fossil Capacity: Rajasthan's Bhadla Solar Park Key Contributor
Following the announcement that India crossed 250 GW of non-fossil power capacity, attention has turned to Rajasthan's Bhadla Solar Park — the world's largest solar park at 2,245 MW capacity — as a cornerstone of India's renewable energy achievement.
Rajasthan ranks first in solar capacity; the state investment portal lists 22,860.73 MW installed solar capacity. Rajasthan Renewable Energy Policy, 2023 targets 90 GW of renewable power projects up to 2029-30. Key projects include the Pokharan Solar Park (3,000 MW under development), wind-solar hybrid projects in Jaisalmer, and the Barmer floating solar initiative. The state is also attracting green hydrogen projects under the National Green Hydrogen Mission Phase-II.
