In context: how this plant compares

At 75 MW, Mirzapur is well above the median solar plant in India (16.2 MW). Technically it is described as PV. Its current lifecycle status is “Pre Construction” — so it is not yet, or no longer, generating at full output. Solar PV converts sunlight directly into electricity with no moving parts or fuel; output varies by time of day and weather, so it pairs with storage or flexible backup.

Capacity comparison computed from the WRI Global Power Plant Database; fuel-type context is general engineering background.
