Adani Power has launched a wholly owned subsidiary, Rawatbhata-Raj Atomic Energy, to strengthen its presence in the nuclear energy sector. Established on April 20, this subsidiary will focus on the generation, transmission, and distribution of electricity from nuclear sources. This initiative is part of India's ambitious plan to increase its nuclear power capacity from 8.8 GW to 100 GW by 2047, as stated by the Chairperson of the Central Electricity Authority. The move signals a significant shift as India opens its nuclear sector to private participation, allowing companies like Adani Power to explore opportunities in an area traditionally dominated by the state-run Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. The subsidiary has been set up with an authorized capital of ₹5 lakh (approximately $6,000 USD) and is expected to play a crucial role in advancing India's clean energy goals.
