The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) has awarded a significant contract to Larsen & Toubro (L&T) for the mechanical package construction of nuclear reactors KKNPP-5 and 6 at the Kudankulam power station complex. This project, part of India’s strategic clean energy initiative, includes installation of reactor and turbine systems, and extensive infrastructure enhancements, reinforcing L&T’s position in delivering large-scale nuclear projects. With a goal to ramp up nuclear capacity to 100 GW by 2047 under its Viksit Bharat initiative, this collaboration with Russia exemplifies India’s commitment to diversifying its energy mix and reducing dependence on coal. The success of such projects is crucial for positioning India as a global leader in next-generation nuclear power infrastructure.
