India Allocates Rs 13,355 Crore for Nuclear Projects Amid Delays from Multiple Challenges
The Indian government has allocated Rs 13,355 crore for six nuclear power projects over five years, aiming to add 8,000 MW to the national grid. However, these projects have experienced delays due to factors such as design changes after the Fukushima disaster, supply disruptions from Russia, Covid-19 impacts, contractor financial issues, challenging soil conditions, and skilled labor shortages. Geopolitical conflicts including the Russia-Ukraine and US-Israel-Iran tensions have also affected timelines. Authorities are conducting regular reviews and monitoring to mitigate delays and ensure timely completion.
