NTPC to Launch EPC Tender for Nuclear Project

State-owned power producer NTPC is set to issue an engineering, procurement and construction (EPC) tender worth over Rs 100 billion (bn) for at least two of the four nuclear island units at the Mahi Banswara Nuclear Power Project in Rajasthan.

According to the management, the Notice Inviting Tender (NIT) for the nuclear island EPC package is expected to be released by 15 June 2026. This will be followed by the EPC tender for the turbine generator (TG) island, which is likely to be floated by 30 March 2027.

The project is being developed by Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Ltd (ASHVINI), a joint venture between NTPC and Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL).

The project has already received environmental and forest approvals, and the excavation contract for the first two units has been awarded.

NTPC expects the first concrete pour for the project in August 2027, while the first nuclear unit is targeted to achieve synchronisation by November 2032.
