NTPC, India's leading power generation company, is preparing its first feasibility study for a standalone nuclear power project. The company intends to apply for regulatory approval shortly, which will enable it to commence work on the project. NTPC aims to achieve a nuclear capacity of at least 2 gigawatts by 2032, marking a significant step in its diversification into nuclear energy. This move aligns with India's broader energy goals to increase clean and sustainable power sources. The feasibility study is a critical step in assessing the technical and economic viability of the project before formal approval and construction begin. The approval will pave the way for NTPC to begin work on its first standalone nuclear project in India as the PSU is keen to achieve at least 2 GW of nuclear capacity by 2032.
