Renewable Energy in Rajasthan
The proposed projects are located in the Jodhpur and Phalodi districts, a region central to India’s renewable energy transition. The area hosts the Bhadla Solar Park, a 2,245 MW facility that, as of 2024, is recognized as the 11th-largest solar park in the world. This established infrastructure provides a significant geographic and technical foundation for the new 45 MW tender.
