NPCIL Plans Consulting Unit to Support Private Entry into Nuclear Power Sector
Following the SHANTI Act's opening of India's nuclear power sector to private players, the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) plans to establish a new consulting unit. This subsidiary will provide design, engineering, regulatory, and technical support to private companies and state governments interested in deploying pressurised heavy-water reactor (PHWR) technology. The move aligns with India's goal to expand nuclear capacity to 100 GW by 2047, leveraging NPCIL's expertise and existing domestic supply chains.
