In which state is India’s biggest floating solar power plant is being set up?

Correct option is A

The correct answer is: (a) Telangana

Explanation:
• The 100 MW floating solar power plant at Ramagundam in Telangana is currently India’s largest operational floating solar project.
• It was commissioned by NTPC on 1 July 2022.
• Other larger projects (for example in Omkareshwar, Madhya Pradesh) are under construction and not yet the largest as of now.

Information Booster:
• Floating solar power plants (also called FPV – Floating Photovoltaic) are mounted on water bodies and help save land and reduce evaporation.
• The Ramagundam project spreads over about 500 acres and is divided into 40 blocks of ~2.5 MW each.
• India’s overall target for floating solar potential is estimated at around 280–300 GW.
• Once fully commissioned, the Omkareshwar project (600 MW) in Madhya Pradesh is set to become the largest in India and one of the world’s largest.
• Telangana is thus currently leading this niche (floating) solar segment in India.
