NTPC Limited, India’s largest integrated power company, has joined forces with Chicago-based Clean Core Thorium Energy (CCTE) to explore the development and deployment of ANEEL, a thorium-based fuel for Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs).

This collaboration follows a landmark agreement earlier in October 2024, when Larsen & Toubro (L&T) signed a Memorandum of Understanding with CCTE to establish a world-class supply chain for ANEEL fuel, leveraging L&T’s advanced manufacturing capabilities.
Subject to government approval, NTPC and CCTE are set to explore the development and deployment of ANEEL fuel in India.
