According to the source, the Indian Government aims to attract an investment of around 26 billion dollars (Rs 2.16 trillion) from the private sector to enhance its nuclear energy industry, aligning with efforts to decarbonize the power sector.
This marks the first instance of India seeking private investment for nuclear development, contributing a mere 2 percent to the nation’s overall power generation.
The intended funds are crucial for achieving India’s target of reaching 50 percent non-fossil fuel-based installed electric generation capacity by 2030, up from the current 42 percent.
The government is presently engaged in discussions with at least five private companies, seeking investments of approximately 440 billion rupees (5.30 billion dollars) each.
Listed below are the stocks of large group companies with whom the Government is likely in talks:
