India is building what is expected to be the largest hybrid (solar and wind) renewable energy project in the world in the Rann of Kutch, a vast salt desert that borders Pakistan. Named Khavda Park, the enormous structure that might be visible from space, would advance India's ambitions to switch to renewable energy sources.
“Proud to play a crucial role in India's impressive strides in renewable energy as we build the world's largest green energy park,” Gautam Adani said about the project, on his social media platform X, formerly Twitter

The project, which covers an area about the size of Singapore (726,000 km2), is anticipated to produce an astounding 30 GW of electricity. With the potential to power over 20,000,000 homes, this represents a significant advancement in responsibly satisfying the nation's growing energy needs.
A symbol of India's Atmanirbhar Bharat (independent nation building) movement, the Khavda park is named after the nearby village. The Indian government has estimated that the project will cost at least $2.26 billion, which is a significant amount that reflects the magnitude and importance of the investment in the country's future.
