The National Thermal Power Corporation (NTPC) is set to approach the Indian government with a feasibility report for its first nuclear energy plant, contributing to India's ambitious plan to boost its nuclear power capacity from 9 GW to 100 GW by 2047. The feasibility study has been completed in one of the 14 states targeted for nuclear energy development, with land already identified in Banka district, Bihar. NTPC aims to establish 30 GW of nuclear capacity across these states, with initial plans for at least two units of 700 MW each, potentially expanding to four units. Each nuclear unit is projected to cost around ₹20,000 crore (approximately $2.4 billion USD). The feasibility report will be submitted to the Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) for approval, after which NTPC will seek land acquisition from the state government. Other states under consideration include Gujarat, Andhra Pradesh, Maharashtra, Madhya Pradesh, Chhattisgarh, and Odisha.
