Introduction:
India’s nuclear power generation capacity has almost doubled in the last decade, growing from 4,780 MW in 2014 to 8,081 MW in 2024, Union Minister Jitendra Singh announced in the Lok Sabha on Wednesday, highlighting significant progress in the energy sector.
Singh also projected that India’s atomic energy capacity will triple to 22,480 MW by 2031-32. Nine nuclear power projects are currently under construction, with several more in the pre-project phase, underscoring the country’s focus on expanding nuclear energy infrastructure to meet future demand.
The minister highlighted recent reforms to power distribution, with home states now receiving 50% of electricity generated from atomic plants. Neighbouring states are allocated 35%, and the national grid receives 15%. These changes ensure more equitable resource sharing across states.
