The solar plant located at Madhapur, near Bhuj in Gujarat, was till recently the largest solar power plant in India. It was used to sterilise milk cans. However, at present, the solar power plant in Kamuthi, Tamil Nadu, is not only India’s but also the world’s largest solar plant. With a capacity to produce 648 MW of electricity, the plant comprises 2.5 million individual solar modules. It supplanted the 130-MW solar power plant at Bhagwanpur in Neemuch, Madhya Pradesh, for the tag of the largest solar power plant in India (Sources: India’s largest solar plant in MP, Modi calls it ‘saffron revolution’, The Hindu, 26 February, 2014; The largest solar power plant in the world is now in our backyard, The Hindustan Times, 7 December 2016).
