Uranium has gained importance mainly because it sits at the center of the global clean energy transition, energy security concerns, and geopolitical shifts.

India currently has no pure-play uranium mining companies listed on Indian stock exchanges.

For indirect exposure in India, investors can consider companies tied to the nuclear fuel cycle and infrastructure supporting nuclear power. Most commercial nuclear reactors around the world use uranium as their primary fuel.

Indian companies are involved in nuclear power plant construction, equipment manufacturing, engineering, or related infrastructure.

Here are three such stocks...

We have selected companies based on ROE, proven past track record and strong growth prospects in the future.

#1 Bharat Heavy Electricals (BHEL)

BHEL is one of India's largest public-sector engineering companies and plays an important role in the country's nuclear power infrastructure.

It manufactures and supplies critical equipment used in nuclear power plants, including steam turbines, turbo-generators, heat exchangers, pumps and heavy electrical systems, control & instrumentation systems.

These components are essential for converting nuclear heat into electricity.

Financial Highlights of BHEL

Rs m FY23 FY24 FY25
Net Sales 197,989 201,068 237,877
Operating Profit 15,321 12,552 18,646
Net Profit Margin (%) 3.3 1.4 2.2

On the financial front, BHEL performed well, with revenues growing by 16.4% in Q3 FY26 to Rs 84,731 m, when compared YoY. The net profits surged by 221% to Rs 3,742 m led by increase in revenues and better operational efficiencies.

Moving ahead, BHEL has an outstanding order book of Rs 2,228 bn as of 31 December 2025. 80% of this is order is from the power sector, while the balance is from industry including exports.

BHEL has supplied equipment for multiple reactors operated by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). If more reactors are approved and executed, BHEL could benefit through new equipment orders, higher order book visibility and long-term maintenance contracts.

With India expanding its electricity infrastructure - including thermal, hydro, transmission and nuclear - BHEL stands to benefit as a key equipment and services provider.

The country's focus on energy security and capacity additions supports new orders in conventional power segments, at least in the medium term.
