In which of the following districts of U.P. a major solar power plant was established in collaboration with France in 2018?

A Agra
B Ballia
C Deoria
D Mirzapur

Correct answer: (d) Mirzapur

Explanation

  1. A

    Agra

    (a) Agra. Agra has solar capacity in the state mix but is not the 2018 France-collaboration major plant keyed here.

  2. B

    Ballia

    (b) Ballia. Ballia is not that 2018 Franco-Indian solar site.

  3. C

    Deoria

    (c) Deoria. Deoria is not the district of the 2018 major French-collaboration plant.

  4. D

    Mirzapur

    (d) Mirzapur. In 2018 a large solar power plant in Mirzapur district was established with French collaboration (among the state’s flagship solar parks). Official key.

Summary. Official key is (d) Mirzapur. The 2018 UP solar landmark with French partnership is sited in Mirzapur, not Agra, Ballia or Deoria. France’s development agencies and firms were active in India’s solar scale-up under the International Solar Alliance, launched in Paris (2015) with India.
