Solar Power Capacity Ranking: States in Descending Order
The question requires arranging four Indian states – Gujarat (A), Rajasthan (B), Maharashtra (C), and Tamil Nadu (D) – based on their total installed solar power capacity in descending order, as of August 2025. This requires referencing recent data or reliable projections for solar power installations in these states.
Installed Solar Capacity Data (Approximate, as of early 2024/projections for 2025)
Based on available industry reports and government data, the approximate installed solar power capacities are:
| State (Code) | Approx. Installed Capacity (GW) |
|---|---|
| Rajasthan (B) | ~18.0 GW |
| Gujarat (A) | ~11.0 GW |
| Maharashtra (C) | ~7.5 GW |
| Tamil Nadu (D) | ~7.0 GW |
Ranking States by Solar Power Capacity
Arranging the states in descending order based on the approximate installed solar power capacity:
- Rajasthan (B) - ~18.0 GW
- Gujarat (A) - ~11.0 GW
- Maharashtra (C) - ~7.5 GW
- Tamil Nadu (D) - ~7.0 GW
Therefore, the correct descending order is B, A, C, D.
This corresponds to Option D.
