India's NTPC Proposes Six Nuclear Reactors Amid Cost Concerns for Expansion
India's NTPC has proposed developing six nuclear reactors with Russia's Rosatom under a 2014 bilateral agreement, aiming to add 6,000 MW at an estimated cost of 1.5 trillion rupees. Currently, two reactors at Kudankulam operate, with four under construction by NPCIL. Industry experts, including ReNew CEO Sumant Sinha, highlight that high setup costs make nuclear power expensive in India, potentially limiting its adoption despite government targets to reach 100 GW by 2047 and its potential to replace coal in the long term.
