RAS question

Bhadla Solar Park has total capacity of approximately:

Correct answer: (C) 2,245 MW.

Bhadla Solar Park at Bhadla, Jodhpur has an installed total capacity of approximately 2,245 MW.

  1. (A)

    500 MW

  2. (B)

    1,000 MW

  3. (C)

    2,245 MW

  4. (D)

    5,000 MW

Explanation

Bhadla Solar Park is a Rajasthan economy fact, not merely a generic renewable-energy example. The official Economic Review states that Bhadla Solar Park at Bhadla, Jodhpur has a total capacity of 2,245 MW and has been commissioned in four phases. The four phases establish the total: Phase I is 65 MW, Phase II is 680 MW, Phase III is 1,000 MW and Phase IV is 500 MW, adding up to 2,245 MW. The Economic Review also describes Bhadla Solar Park as located in Jodhpur and as the largest solar park in the world, which is why its capacity is a high-value exam figure.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) 500 MW is only the capacity of Phase IV of Bhadla Solar Park, not the total capacity of the park.
  • (B) 1,000 MW is the capacity of Phase III alone, while the official total includes all four commissioned phases.
  • (D) 5,000 MW is not supported by the cited Economic Review, which gives Bhadla Solar Park's total capacity as 2,245 MW.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan's renewable-energy economy, especially flagship solar infrastructure and installed capacity figures. It recurs in RAS because Bhadla connects location, public policy and a precise capacity number in one fact.
