India's nuclear power program is transitioning from policy to project execution, targeting a substantial increase in installed capacity. The nation aims to reach 22.5 GW by FY32 and a remarkable 100 GW by 2047.
The SHANTI Act is a catalyst, opening India's nuclear sector to private and foreign investment, projecting an estimated $214 billion opportunity. This legislative support is crucial for fostering growth and attracting capital.
Key companies poised to benefit include Ratnamani Metals, specializing in nuclear pipes and spooling solutions. MTAR Technologies is a critical supplier of reactor components, securing significant orders for upcoming projects.
KSB, a leader in nuclear pumps, has equipped all of India's Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors since 1978 and boasts a substantial order book. These firms are central to the nation's nuclear expansion strategy.
This expansion involves developing 10 indigenously designed 700 MW Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors and small modular reactors, supported by significant government allocation. Major industrial groups are also submitting proposals for these projects.
