In a remote area bordering Pakistan, multi-billionaire Gautam Adani's group has built the world's largest renewable energy park in Gujarat's Khavda region, as it has a massive 45 GW capacity to generate electricity largely from solar energy. This area, initially devoid of any infrastructure save for a portable toilet and a makeshift office in a container, caught the attention of Gautam Adani, then the second wealthiest person globally, in December 2022. Despite lacking basic amenities like a pincode and being situated amidst vast barren land, Adani recognized its potential.
Initially, the land was barren, with little vegetation due to its highly saline soil and no human settlement nearby. However, boasting the second-best solar radiation in the country after Ladakh and wind speeds five times that of the plains, it presented an ideal location for a renewable energy park. A mere 18-kilometer drive from the airstrip leads to the Khavda renewable energy park, spanning 538 square kilometres, approximately five times the size of Paris.
