NPCI is building two 700MW pressurised heavy water reactors (PHWR), including Units 3 and 4 at Kakrapar, where there are two 220MW power plants. Officials say that in July, the fourth unit recorded 97.56% progress.

Wonder why they’re building these instead of thermal coal plants

        From a guy that installed a 5kw system on my house in Mexico, Solar non base load systems are so inconsistent that they are a poor choice if you want to really help people. You need base load power generation otherwise you will have very unstable power grids.

        It took India 16 years from planning to operation. So it will not only be cheaper, but a lot faster as well.
