The parks will cover 5,000 hectares of “wasteland” along Gujarat’s northwestern border with Pakistan, near the towns of Patan, Banaskatha, Kutch and Surendranagar. They will utilise concentrating solar-thermal technology.
The projects will consume an estimated 500bn rupees ($10.3bn) of investment over the next several years, most of which will be raised through corporate partnerships brokered by the CCI, a non-profit organisation established by former US President Bill Clinton.
