India OKs NPCIL, NTPC joint venture to develop nuke plants

Authorities also relaxed rules to inject more financing in nuclear power.

The Government of India has approved the Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Ltd. (ASHVINI), a joint venture of Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and NTPC Ltd. that will build, own and operate nuclear power plants in the country.

NTPC said the government also allowed the transfer of the 4x700 megawatt (MW) Mahi Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project from NPCIL to ASHVINI.

To ensure adequate financing for India’s nuclear power development, the government approved the exemption to NPCIL to invest more than $5.98m (INR500 crore) and exemption to NTPC to invest more than $59.8m (INR5,000 crore) in a single JV or subsidiary company.

“This will pave the way for pooling of resources from both NTPC and NPCIL in terms of finances, technology, and project expertise for the rapid expansion of nuclear power productivity in the country to meet the targets of Net Zero by 2070,” NTPC said.

India aims to triple its installed nuclear capacity from 8,180 MW to 22,480 MW by 2031-2032.

Global clean energy tech market to hit $2t by 2035

This is fuelled by investments as countries aim to enhance energy security.The global clean energy technology market is projected to grow from $700b in 2023 to over $2t by 2035, nearing the scale of the crude oil market, according to the International Energy Agency (IEA).This growth is fuelled by significant investments in clean technology manufacturing as countries aim to enhance energy security, maintain economic competitiveness, and cut emissions. Investment is concentrated in regions with established positions in clean energy, particularly China, the European Union, the UK, and increasingly, India.Whilst the US, EU, and India have taken measures to support their clean energy sectors, China is expected to remain the world's manufacturing hub. By 2035, China's clean technology exports are forecasted to exceed $340b—comparable to projected oil export revenues from Saudi Arabia and the UAE.Southeast Asia, Latin America, and Africa contribute less than 5% of global cleantech production value, yet the IEA suggests that these areas still hold opportunities within the clean energy economy. Developing economies, for instance, could leverage competitive advantages to advance in the value chain beyond resource extraction.The IEA said Southeast Asia could become one of the most cost-effective regions for producing polysilicon and wafers for solar panels over the next decade.
