AERB has cleared the location for four 700 MWe IPHWRs at MBRAPP near Napla, Rajasthan.

This is the first licensing step after site studies (geo, hydro, rad, soil).

The project is part of a 10-unit fleet model, to be built by ASHVINI.


 
The Gorakhpur GHAVP plant will have 4×700 MWe IPHWRs in two phases. Unit 1 starts concrete pour in October 2025, with operation by March 2031; Unit 2 follows six months later. Units 3 and 4 will be built in Phase 2 under fleet mode.

 
KUNDANKULAM NUCLEAR POWER PROJECT

Presently, two units i.e., KKNPP-1 & 2 are operational at the Kudankulam Site.

The total power output from the operational units at KKNPP is 2000 MW comprising of KKNPP, Unit-1 & 2 (2 x 1000 MW).

The power generated by central sector power generating stations is allocated to the beneficiary states and union territories in the electricity region by the Ministry of Power (MoP) as per laid down norms.

 
NUCLEAR POWER GENERATION

Presently nuclear power contributes about 3% to the total electricity generated in the country. In the year 2024-25, nuclear power plants generated 56681 Million Units (MUs) of electricity

Government is making efforts to increase the nuclear fuel sources both by augmenting domestic production and imports from diverse sources

The Government has announced an ambitious Nuclear Energy mission with a target of reaching a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047

Presently, the installed nuclear power capacity in the country comprises 24 reactors with a total capacity of 8780 MW (excluding RAPS-1 (100 MW) under extended shutdown). In addition, a total capacity of 13600 MW (including 500 MW PFBR being implemented by BHAVINI) is under different stages of implementation
