The Bhadla Solar Park is a solar power plant located in the Thar Desert of Rajasthan, India.It covers an area of 56 square kilometers and has a total installed capacity of 2,245 megawatts (MW), making it India's largest and the 11th-largest solar park in the world as of 2024. [4]
When completed, the park will generate 30 gigawatt electricity from both solar panels and wind turbines. It will spread over an area of 72,600 hectares (726 km 2) of waste land. [1] [2] When completed, it will be the biggest hybrid renewable energy park in the world. [1] The 30 GW energy could power 18 million Indian homes. [3]
Completed in 2019, the park has a capacity of 2,050 MW. As of April 2021, it is the world's third largest photovoltaic solar park after the 2,245 MW Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan and 2,200 MW Huanghe Hydropower Hainan Solar Park in China. It is the second largest in India.The total project cost was ₹14,800 crore (US$2.1 billion). [5]

With these strongly determined initiatives, India has also become the home of some of the world's largest solar parks, including the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan, India's largest and the world's 11th-largest as of 2024, generating 2,245 MW of solar power. India's solar power installed capacity was 97.86 GW AC as of 31 December 2024. [2]
[5] [6] The Kamuthi Solar Power Project was completed on 21 September 2016 with an investment of around ₹ 4,550 crore (equivalent to ₹ 65 billion or US$760 million in 2023). [7] The solar plant consists of 2.5 million solar modules, 380,000 foundations, 27,000 metres of structures, 576 inverters, 154 transformers, and almost 6,000 km of cables.
In August 2016, Tata Power Solar commissioned a 100 MW solar project at the park built over an area of 200 hectares (500 acres). This was the largest solar project commissioned using domestically manufactured solar cells and modules at the time. In May 2018, Azure Power commissioned a 50 MW solar capacity at the park.
The 600 MW plant is being built on the Omakareshwar Dam's reservoir and the evacuating infrastructure is being provided by the state-owned Rewa Ultra Mega Solar Limited (RUMSL). [3] Reportedly, this plan will be the largest floating solar power generation facility globally. [4] In August 2023, a capacity of 278 MW had been activated.
