Sambhar Ultra Mega Solar Power Project

Sambhar Ultra Mega Solar Power Project is a proposed photo-voltaic solar power project with a cumulative capacity of 4,000 MW at Sambhar in Rajasthan state of India.[1][2][3][4]

Sambhar is home to many species of birds. The proposed project was opposed by several environmental groups. The Union Government later decided to develop the acquired land in Sambhar as a tourist spot, and shift the proposed solar power station to Kharaghoda in Surendranagar district of Gujarat.[5]
