Nuclear Power Corp. of India Ltd. said it is working on at least 36 nuclear power projects with a total capacity of about 34 gigawatts, as Asia’s third-largest economy tries to meet a surge in demand for power due to its rapid industrialization and urbanization. The projects include those under the country’s indigenous nuclear program as well as joint ventures with Russia, France and the U.S., said Finance Director Jagdeep Ghai in a recent interview. The bulk of these projects are expected to be completed in the next decade, which will help the state-run nuclear power producer achieve a total capacity of 20,000 megawatts, he said. NPCIL currently operates 19 nuclear plants, has seven under construction and has a capacity of 4,560 MW. It has already set a target of achieving a 63,000 MW capacity by 2032.
