'''Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects''', also known as '''Ultra Mega Solar Parks''', are a series of [[solar power]] projects planned by the [[Ministry of New and Renewable Energy]] of the [[Union Government of India]].<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.seci.gov.in/content/innerpage/intro-solar-park.php |title=Introduction :: Solar Energy Corporation of India (SECI), A Government of India Enterprise |publisher=SECI |access-date=2016-07-24}}</ref> Each power project has a minimum capacity of 500 MW.<ref>{{cite web|author=Smiti Mittal|url=http://cleantechnica.com/2014/09/15/india-considers-adding-20-gw-capacity-ultra-mega-solar-power-projects/ |title=India Considers Adding 20 GW Capacity Through Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects |publisher=Cleantechnica.com |date=2014-09-15 |access-date=2016-07-24}}</ref><br />
<br />
In December 2014, the Government of India introduced a scheme to establish at least 25 solar parks and Ultra Mega Solar Power Projects, adding over 20 GW of installed solar power capacity. The Central Government provides financial support for the construction of these solar projects.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://pib.nic.in/newsite/PrintRelease.aspx?relid=121060|title=Scheme for Development of Ultra Mega Solar Parks|publisher=Pib.nic.in|access-date=2016-07-24}}</ref> In February 2017, the Union Cabinet increased the total number of planned solar parks to 50 with a total capacity of 40 GW. By April 2017, 34 solar parks were under construction across 21 states.<ref>{{Cite news|url=http://www.livemint.com/Industry/c54PPC1PBOOaNGTguUYwzN/ADB-to-lend-175-million-to-Power-Grid-for-transmission-proj.html|title=ADB to lend $175 million to Power Grid for transmission project|last=Prasad|first=Gireesh Chandra|date=2017-04-07|work=livemint.com/|access-date=2017-05-11}}</ref><br />
