Two states – Rajasthan and Andhra Pradesh – have deployed higher capacities through the solar park scheme.
The Scheme for “Development of Solar Parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects” was rolled out in December 2014 with an aggregate capacity of 20,000 MW.
Further, the capacity of the Solar Park Scheme was enhanced to 40,000 MW in March 2017 to set up at least 50 Solar Parks.
The timeline of the scheme is up to 2023-24.
Of the 10,401 MW capacity, Rajasthan has so far commissioned 3065 MW of capacity, while Andhra Pradesh has commissioned 3050 MW.
Karnataka and Madhya Pradesh have commissioned 2000 MW and 1000 MW capacity respectively.
