State Energy Minister Saurabh Patel told AFP that two or three locations were identified in the Gulf of Kutch, where the turbines Atlantis Resources Corporation of London to create.
A preliminary agreement was signed last week between the government and Atlantis, which plans to start construction later this year, with an initial capacity of 50 megawatts (MW) and long-term capacity of 250 MW.
Patel said that environmental factors and business will be taken into account, as well as extremely sensitive land claims in the area where the sea is divided between India and Pakistan.
"We must bear in mind that local fishermen do not seem that there is no damage to the environment, transport and ports in the Persian Gulf region is not affected," he said.
The company said that the project "to require hundreds of millions of dollars of investment in tidal turbines," adding that his studies of water in Gujarat showed that the current was strong enough to produce 300 MW of power.
Highly industrialized Gujarat, one of the best performers economically in the country, has installed capacity of electricity of more than 11,000 MW in the day, which means that tidal power will meet only a fraction of demand Total.
DJ Pandian President of the State of Gujarat Power Corporation, said in a statement released after the agreement was signed, the project is India? S and even in Asia? The first commercial scale. "
To become the first in Asia, the project must be completed before South Korea, 254 MW of Lake Sihwa tidal energy.
The Korean plant was on track to become the world's tallest in 2009 but has since been hit by delays, which means it is not over yet.
The Gujarat project is the latest in a series of measures taken by India, the third largest producer of electricity from fossil fuels to meet its energy needs from renewable sources.
Last year, she launched the Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh, National Solar Mission, saying it could "establish India as a world leader in solar energy in electricity generation and production technology.
energy infrastructure in India is unable to meet electricity demand, with government figures show about 80,000 poor Indian villages without access to the grid.
Currently the country produces more than 15,000 MW of power from all renewable energy sources, the ministry of new and renewable energy, with 10,000 MW of wind energy alone.
Tidal energy has not yet become a popular source of energy due to the high costs associated with the creation of factories, and the limited availability of sites with the tides high enough.
The largest tidal power plant is located in the world of La Rance, Brittany, France, which generated 240mW, sufficient to cover 90 percent of Britain's electricity needs.
