NTPC seeks ₹1.5-trillion Rosatom tie-up for six nuclear reactors

{"

Kudankulam Plant Progress":"NPCIL has been working on six units at the Kudankulam plant, with two already operational. The remaining six units are yet to be developed. NTPC proposes deploying Rosatom's VVER 1000 reactors for these units, each with a capacity of 1,000 MW.","

Long-term Expansion Plans":"NTPC aims to reach 30GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. They have identified three sites in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha for 2-4GW capacity at each location. Detailed feasibility reports have been submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission for approval.","

Industry Perspective":"Indian companies need technology partnerships with global players, which can come through tenders. Global nuclear power entities are interested in investing in India but are not keen on the tender route. State-to-state agreements remain the only viable path for bilateral partnerships."}
