NPCIL is a Public Sector Enterprise under the administrative control of the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE), Government of India, engaged in setting up & operating nuclear power plants across India.
The partnership through this MoU, supports GoI’s vision to accelerate nuclear power, enabling clean, green, and reliable energy to strengthen India’s energy security and is a step towards Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat, targeting a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047.
Based on the NPCIL’s experience of design, construction, operation & maintenance of standard 220 MWe PHWRs in India & EIL’s expertise for specialized engineering services, the existing standard design of 220 MWe PHWR is being engineered as a generic design of 220 MWe BSR with implementation of latest safety upgradation, design modifications incorporating latest codes & standards and regulatory requirements.
The 220 MWe BSR facilitates faster adoption of these reactors for energy-intensive industries like steel, aluminum, cement etc., providing much needed green energy for their operation and also helps the replacement/phasing out of vintage captive thermal power plants used by these industries.
