NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation), a state-owned power utility in India, is exploring the establishment of two nuclear power units, each with a capacity of 700 MW, in Banka district, Bihar. This project is part of NTPC's broader energy diversification strategy and is expected to require an investment of approximately ₹25,000 crore (around $3 billion USD). Currently, NTPC officials are conducting a feasibility study, with initial estimates indicating that 1,000 acres of land will be needed for the project. The Bihar government has assured full support, including water availability. NTPC is also working towards achieving a total of 30 GW of nuclear capacity across various locations in India, in line with the government's goal of reaching 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047. Additionally, NTPC is involved in a joint venture with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL) to set up another nuclear project in Rajasthan, with an investment of about ₹42,000 crore (approximately $5 billion USD). The company has diversified its energy portfolio to include coal, gas, hydro, and solar power.
