NTPC prepares first feasibility study for nuclear power project
NTPC Limited has prepared its first feasibility study for a nuclear power project and is expected to seek approval from the Department of Atomic Energy for further progress.
The move marks a significant step in NTPC’s planned diversification into nuclear energy generation alongside thermal and renewable power.
Nuclear power is increasingly being viewed as a critical component of India’s long-term low-carbon energy strategy due to its ability to provide stable baseload electricity.
The proposed project is expected to support rising electricity demand while strengthening energy security.
It also reflects the government’s broader push to expand clean and reliable power generation infrastructure.
