Govt approves NPCIL-NTPC JV company ASHVINI to start nuclear power generation

The Government on September 11, 2024 accorded approval to the Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Ltd. (ASHVINI), a Joint Venture (JV) of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited – NPCIL (51%) and NTPC Ltd. (49%) to   build, own & operate nuclear power plants in India in accordance with provisions of the Atomic Energy Act.    Additionally Govt. of  India has approved  transfer of  Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project (MBRAPP) 4x700 MWe based on indigenous PHWR technology,  from NPCIL to the JV Company ASHVINI. 

The Govt has also approved exemption to NPCIL to invest more than Rs 5 billion and exemption to NTPC to invest more than Rs 50 billion in a single joint venture/subsidiary company.  This will enable adequate financing for accelerated Nuclear Power capacity addition in India.
