RAS question

Bhadla Solar Park is in which district?

Correct answer: (B) Jodhpur.

Bhadla Solar Park is in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan.

  1. (A)

    Bikaner

  2. (B)

    Jodhpur

  3. (C)

    Jaisalmer

  4. (D)

    Barmer

Explanation

Bhadla Solar Park is identified with Jodhpur district. It has a 2,245 MW capacity and is counted among the world's largest solar parks, which is why the location is a high-frequency Rajasthan geography fact. The verified PIB release from the Ministry of New and Renewable Energy lists Bhadla Phase IV as "Bhadla, Jodhpur Rajasthan" in its fact sheet on solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects. Since the question asks for the district, Jodhpur is the required answer; the other options point to nearby western Rajasthan districts but do not match the Bhadla entry.

Why the other options are wrong

  • (A) Bikaner is not the district identified for Bhadla Solar Park; the item marks it as a northern district, while the Bhadla entry is linked to Jodhpur.
  • (C) Jaisalmer is associated in the item with wind potential and is not the district named for Bhadla Solar Park in the Bhadla entry.
  • (D) Barmer is associated in the item with oil fields, but the Bhadla Solar Park location being tested is Jodhpur, not Barmer.

Concept

This tests Rajasthan energy geography, especially the district-level location of major renewable-energy projects. RAS repeats such facts because solar parks link physical geography with state development and energy policy.
