• Tamil Nadu with 9231.77 MW of ìnstalled wind capacity is well ahead of the rest and second positioned Gujarat which has 7203.77 MW of wind generation capacity.

• The Indian government has set a target of ìnstalling 60GW of wind energy by 2022, as pledged in its Intended nationally determined contributions (INDC). Hence the correct answer is option (a).
