Asia's Largest Solar Park Functional in Gujarat State

Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi has inaugurated Asia's largest solar park covering 3,000 acres in the Rann of Kutch. The park will lead to a reduction in carbon dioxide emissions to the tune of eight million tonnes and save 900,000 tonnes of natural gas annually.

A 600 MW solar power park, touted as Asia's largest, was dedicated to the nation on Thursday by Gujarat Chief Minister Narendra Modi in the state's Patan district. The park will be a boost to India's efforts towards low carbon growth.
