Unit-4 (1000 MW) is at an advance stage of building. Additional, Models-5&6 (2 X 1000 MW) are at completely different levels of building and are deliberate to be commissioned progressively. Upon completion of those initiatives, the Kudankulam website could have a complete put in capability of 6000 MW.
India has 8.8GW of put in nuclear energy capability throughout 7 websites, contributing to 2% of the nation’s electrical energy capability. The federal government goals to scale nuclear capability to 100 GW by 2047 (5% share).
