<h1>India Boosts Nuclear Capacity: 700 MW Plant Connects to Grid, Aiming for 100 GW by 2047</h1> India's 700 MW nuclear power plant at Rawatbhata, Rajasthan, was connected to the northern grid, increasing the country's nuclear energy capacity to 8,880 MW. The Rajasthan Atomic Power Project's Unit 7 met all regulatory requirements before connection. This unit is part of a series of 16 indigenous Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWR) planned in India, with its twin unit expected to be operational by 2025-26. These reactors feature advanced safety measures and contribute significantly to India's goal of achieving 100 GW nuclear power capacity by 2047, reducing carbon emissions substantially. NPCIL currently operates 25 reactors.
