Bhadla Solar Park is in which district?

Explanation

Bhadla Solar Park is located in Jodhpur district of Rajasthan. It has a capacity of 2,245 MW and is counted among the world's largest solar parks. The Ministry of New and Renewable Energy issued a fact sheet on solar parks and ultra mega solar power projects through the Press Information Bureau. It lists Bhadla Phase IV as "Bhadla, Jodhpur Rajasthan". Therefore, the correct district is Jodhpur; Bikaner, Jaisalmer and Barmer do not match this location.

Why the other options are wrong

• (A) Bikaner is a northern Rajasthan district, but Bhadla Solar Park is located in Jodhpur district.
• (C) Jaisalmer is known for its wind-energy potential, but Bhadla Solar Park is located in Jodhpur district.
• (D) Barmer is associated with oil fields, but Bhadla Solar Park is located in Jodhpur district.

Concept

RAS preparation requires knowing the districts in which Rajasthan's major renewable-energy projects are located. The capacity and location of these projects connect physical geography with state development and energy policy.
