Explanation

Statement 1 is incorrect. While Gujarat has significant solar power capacity and large solar parks (like Charanka), the Bhadla Solar Park in Rajasthan has been widely recognized as the largest solar park in India, followed by others like Pavagada in Karnataka. Therefore, Gujarat does not hold the distinction of having the single largest solar park in India. Statement 2 is correct. Cochin International Airport (CIAL) in Kerala became the world's first fully solar-powered airport in 2015, achieving energy neutrality through its dedicated solar power plants. Statement 3 is incorrect. While Goa has undertaken solar initiatives, the largest floating solar photovoltaic project in India has been commissioned at Ramagundam in Telangana, and other significant projects exist in states like Kerala (Kayamkulam). Goa does not hold this distinction. Therefore, only statement 2 is correct.
