India Nuclear Power Sector Generation and Investment Opportunity Outlook 2032

Nuclear power sector in India has already travelled quite a long way to reach the present
stage with 6780 MW installed capacity and 22 reactors from starting with two boiling water
reactors worth 320 MW in 1969. Today, nuclear power provides nearly 3% of total electricity
in India and this percentage will go up soon due to massive capacity addition in the coming
years. Though Indias nuclear power sector is 100% controlled by the central government in
operation and maintenance, the expansion of nuclear power sector is equally attractive to
numerous private enterprises across the world, obviously including India. It is therefore
imperative to know the prospective and driving factors of Indian nuclear power sector for
industries, nuclear energy experts, policymakers across the world.

India Nuclear Power Sector Generation and Investment Opportunity Outlook 2032 report
gives comprehensive insight on the ongoing policy and structural developments in the nuclear
power sector in India. As per report findings, nuclear power as emerged as one the most
focused area for the power sector policy and regulatory framework in order to improve the
overall power sector scenario in India.

Report provides detailed review of Indias power sector with nuclear power as the focus. The
relative importance of nuclear power in Indias power sector as a whole andndash; both in
terms of installed generation capacity or electricity output seems to be small. But its huge
potential to change countrys energy scenario makes it the point of discussion. An analytical
discussion of Indias power demand and how it can be meet has been in the beginning of the
report. As the analysis goes on, it becomes clear that nuclear power is the most suitable
alternative form of energy in the context of existing structure of power generation. A
comparison of all alternative forms of energy andndash; be it nuclear or renewable reveals
that for environmental concerns, both of these clean energy sources must be used but the
thrust should be on nuclear. Financial analysis shows that a nuclear power plant provides
return on investment that is equivalent to a coal based power plant of equal capacity along
with providing pollutant-free electricity. Furthermore, nuclear power can generate electricity
continuously unlike renewable sources like solar and wind which are intermittent in nature.

All the possible factors that could drive Indias nuclear power sector have got special
importance in the report with analysis. There are also discussions on the impact of the
expansion of nuclear power sector. The expansion plan of this sector as stated by Indian
government department concerning nuclear energy is quite ambitious and has the potential to
transform the entire energy sector to make India on the track of sustainable development.

India Nuclear Power Sector Generation and Investment Opportunity Outlook 2032

India has the perfect atmosphere that can help grow the nuclear power market to the desired
level so that nuclear energy becomes key element of power sector. The report argued why
nuclear power will be Indias answer to meet the rising power demand and increase the
proportion of clean energy to cut down carbon emissions. Growth of nuclear power has been
analyzed to cause remarkable economic progress in India in various aspects other than
increase in electricity generation. Nuclear power sector itself will bring close to US$ 500
Million annual investment in the country that can certainly transform a major part of
economy by creating large number of employments andndash; both direct and indirect.

In order to ensure energy security due rapid depletion of coal reserve and rising concerns for
environmental pollution due to burning of coal, India has been expanding power sector
through clean energy sources for years. In last 10 years, there has been substantial growth in
the installation of clean energy based power generation including renewables and nuclear and
future target set for them are also ambitious. But lower CUFs for renewable based power
generation and intermittent nature, particularly solar and wind, make nuclear power as the
better alternative to fossil fuels based power generation. Indian economy has been growing
with tremendous pace and it needs reliable, uninterrupted power supply. Hence policymakers
will obviously put more thrust on that energy source that can be used for based load power
generation plants to provide electricity round the clock. Here nuclear suits much more than
all other clean energy sources. Therefore India is likely to put more stress on expansion of
nuclear power generation capacity along with greater utilization of renewable energy
sources.
