Consider the following statements : 1. Gujarat has the largest solar park in India. 2. Kerala has a fully solar powered International Airport. 3. Goa has the largest floating solar photovoltaic project in India. Which of the statements given above is/are correct ?

Result
Your answer: —  ·  Correct: B
Explanation

The correct answer is Option 2 (2 only) based on the following factual assessment:

  • Statement 1 is incorrect: While Gujarat hosts the significant Charanka Solar Park, the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan is currently the largest solar park in India (and the world) in terms of installed capacity, surpassing Gujarat's projects.
  • Statement 2 is correct: The Cochin International Airport in Kerala became the world's first fully solar-powered airport in 2015. It remains a global benchmark for sustainable aviation, powered entirely by its dedicated solar plant.
  • Statement 3 is incorrect: Goa does not host the largest floating solar project. As of recent data, the largest floating solar photovoltaic projects in India are located in Ramagundam (Telangana) or Omkareshwar (Madhya Pradesh), depending on the stage of commissioning. Goa lacks the massive reservoir infrastructure required for such large-scale floating installations.

Therefore, only statement 2 is factually accurate, making Option 2 the right choice.

Compare the higher-solar-potential regions (Gujarat/Rajasthan) with Goa to judge likelihood that the single largest floating PV would be in Goa versus states with larger solar potential and land area.

Pattern takeaway: The 'State-Swap' technique is UPSC's favorite distractor mechanism for infrastructure questions. They take a real project (Largest Floating Solar) and assign it to a plausible but incorrect state (Goa). Always map infrastructure projects to their physical geography (Deserts, Coastlines, Reservoirs).
How you should have studied
  1. [THE VERDICT]: Sitter/Trap Mix. Statement 2 is a global headline (UN Award to Cochin Airport). Statements 1 and 3 are 'State-Swap' traps. Solvable via standard Current Affairs compilations.
  2. [THE CONCEPTUAL TRIGGER]: Renewable Energy Infrastructure & The National Solar Mission. Specifically, the 'Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects' scheme.
  3. [THE HORIZONTAL EXPANSION]: Memorize the hierarchy: Largest Solar Park (Bhadla, Rajasthan > Pavagada, Karnataka); Largest Floating Solar (Ramagundam, Telangana / Omkareshwar, MP); First Solar Village (Modhera, Gujarat); First Solar City (Konark, Odisha).
  4. [THE STRATEGIC METACOGNITION]: Apply 'Geographic Feasibility'. Solar Parks need vast, flat, arid land (Rajasthan > Gujarat). Floating Solar needs large, calm reservoirs (Telangana/Andhra > Goa). If the geography doesn't match the infrastructure scale, the statement is likely false.

🌑 The Hidden Trap

Since CIAL (Kerala) was asked, the next logical target is the 'First 24x7 Solar Powered Village' (Modhera, Gujarat) or the 'First Green Hydrogen Microgrid' (Simhadri, Andhra Pradesh). Also, look out for 'Diu' which became the first UT to run 100% on solar energy during the day.

⚡ Elimination Cheat Code

Use 'Land Economics' logic. The 'Largest Solar Park' requires thousands of acres of contiguous, non-arable land. While Gujarat has the Rann, Rajasthan (Bhadla) is historically the leader due to higher insolation and vast desert tracts. For Statement 3, Goa is a small coastal state with high land/water value for tourism; it is unlikely to host the 'largest' industrial floating project compared to the massive reservoirs of Telangana or MP.

🔗 Mains Connection

Link this to GS-3 (Infrastructure & Investment Models). Cochin International Airport (CIAL) is a classic success story of the PPP (Public-Private Partnership) model. Use it in Mains answers to argue for the viability of sustainable infrastructure without full state funding.
