💡 Analysis & Explanation
Infrastructure Assessment ▼
Statement 1 is incorrect. The Bhadla Solar Park, globally recognized for its massive power capacity and distinctively holding the title of India's largest solar park, is situated in the state of Rajasthan, not Gujarat.
Aviation Milestone ▼
Statement 2 is correct. The Cochin International Airport in Kerala achieved unprecedented global recognition and UN awards for becoming the world's absolute first airport to operate entirely on dedicated solar power.
Floating Solar Capacity ▼
Statement 3 is incorrect. The largest floating solar PV project commissioned in India at that time was systematically built on the Ramagundam reservoir in Telangana, entirely unrelated to the coastal state of Goa.
Conclusion ▼
Only the Kerala airport milestone represents a factual statement.
