EoI issued for international collaboration
NTPC Ltd is planning for 30GW nuclear capacity by 2047 as a part of the Government’s decision of having 100 GW nuclear capacity by then, the Minister of State in the Ministry of Power Shripad Naik said in a written reply in the Lok Sabha on 5 Feb.
It will be following two routes:
Anu Shakti Vidyut Nigam Limited (ASHVINI), a JV of NTPC Ltd. and Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), is in the process of establishing a 4×700 MW nuclear power project in Banswara district of Rajasthan, called Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (MBRAPP).
NTPC has formed a wholly owned nuclear subsidiary, NTPC Parmanu Urja Nigam Limited (NPUNL), incorporated on 7 Jan 2025 under the Companies Act after getting requisite clearances.
In order to explore various options and possible collaborations with international partners, NTPC Ltd. has issued an Expression of Interest (EoI).
Further, NTPC Ltd, through its JV ASHVINI, is in the process of establishing a 4×700 MW nuclear power project in Banswara district of Rajasthan, called Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (MBRAPP). The current projections envisage initial testing of MBRAPP’s first 700 MW unit by FY 2032-33. Fiinews.com
