What was Gujarat's total installed electricity capacity (conventional and non-conventional) at the end of March 2019?
A27509 MW
B29156 MW
C23622 MW
D121939 MW
Answer & Solution
Correct answer: A. 27509 MW
1. The energy section reports installed capacity at fixed dates.
2. At the end of March 2019, the total installed capacity of Gujarat was 27509 MW.
3. The 29156 MW figure is for 31st October 2019, a later date, so it is a trap.
4. The 121939 MW figure is electricity generation in MUs, not installed capacity in MW.
5. Therefore the March 2019 installed capacity was 27509 MW.
