NTPC Plans Setting Up of Nuclear Power Projects

• NTPC Ltd., a CPSE under the Ministry of Power, is targeting 30 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047 via a JV (ASHVINI) with NPCIL and a wholly-owned subsidiary (NPUNL).
• This 30 GW is a slice of the Government's larger 100 GW nuclear by 2047 target announced under the Nuclear Energy Mission (Union Budget 2025-26).
• Marks the first structural entry of a non-DAE PSU (NTPC) into reactor ownership, breaking the historical NPCIL monopoly — significant for energy security, net-zero (2070), and Power-sector reforms.
