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

Long-term expansion

NTPC, which aims to reach 30GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, has identified three sites in Madhya Pradesh, Bihar, and Odisha to build 2-4GW at each location, a third official said on condition of anonymity. Detailed feasibility reports for these sites have been submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission for approval. Although nuclear power is non-renewable, it is considered a clean, non-fossil fuel source that can supply baseload power and ensure grid stability as coal-based power generation declines.
