440MW Bharat Small Reactor Nuclear Project

planned

Tata Power, in collaboration with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), plans to develop a 440MW Bharat Small Reactor nuclear power project. The project involves scouting for suitable land across three Indian states and aims to contribute to the national goal of expanding nuclear power generation to 22GW by fiscal year 2032. The commissioning of the plant is expected in the early 2030s, with an estimated capital cost of ₹180-200 million per megawatt. The project's success depends on regulatory approvals, technical execution, and maintaining a high plant load factor above 90%.
