NTPC (National Thermal Power Corporation), India's largest power producer, is set to submit its first feasibility study for a nuclear project to the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE). This initiative is part of NTPC's strategy to diversify its energy portfolio and aims to establish at least 2 GW of nuclear capacity by 2032. The company has already received approval from the Bihar government to conduct a feasibility study in Banka district, Bihar. NTPC plans to invest heavily in nuclear energy, targeting a total of 30 GW of nuclear projects across 14 states to help meet the Indian government's ambitious goal of achieving 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. The feasibility studies will assess various factors, including investment needs, land, and water requirements, with estimates indicating that setting up 1 GW of nuclear power could require an investment of ₹15,000-20,000 crore (approximately $1.8-2.4 billion USD). NTPC is exploring potential sites in states such as Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, and Madhya Pradesh.
