India’s nuclear power programme is entering an accelerated expansion phase as the country targets a multi-fold increase in installed nuclear capacity to support its energy security and decarbonization goals. As of 2026, India operates a fleet of reactors spread across sites in Rajasthan, Tamil Nadu, Gujarat, Karnataka, Uttar Pradesh, and Maharashtra, with additional capacity under construction at Kakrapar, Rajasthan, and Kudankulam.
The database tracks reactor-level detail including gross capacity in MWe, reactor technology, first-criticality and commercial-operation dates, and the responsible operating entity, alongside newly announced sites tied to the government’s private-sector participation push in nuclear energy.

Looking ahead, Untapped Markets expects India’s nuclear reactor pipeline to remain one of the most closely tracked databases in the country’s energy transition, as capacity additions, private-sector entry, and Small Modular Reactor deployment reshape the sector through the next decade.
The India Nuclear Reactors Database is developed using a structured, multi-source research process designed to ensure accuracy and consistency across every tracked record.
The research team defines the full universe of nuclear reactors to be tracked within scope, drawing on regulatory filings, industry association membership lists, company disclosures, and prior desk research to establish an initial master list.
Each record is populated using primary sources including company announcements, regulatory and permitting filings, government databases, and, where available, direct outreach to operators and developers, cross-checked against secondary sources such as industry reports and trade press coverage.
Records are standardized into a consistent schema covering location, capacity or scale, ownership, operational status, and timeline detail, allowing like-for-like comparison across all regions of India.
The database is reviewed on a periodic basis to reflect newly announced projects, status changes, and ownership updates, with the 2026 reference year reflecting the most recent verified data snapshot at time of publication.
India operates a growing fleet of nuclear reactors while several additional units are under construction or planned to support the country’s long-term clean energy goals. The India Nuclear Reactors Database 2026 tracks every operational, under-construction, and planned reactor, providing detailed information on capacity, reactor technology, operator, and project status.
Tamil Nadu, Rajasthan, Maharashtra, Gujarat, and Karnataka host some of India’s largest nuclear power facilities. The database provides state-wise and plant-level information, allowing users to compare installed capacity, reactor count, and future expansion plans.
India’s commercial nuclear reactors are primarily operated by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), while advanced reactor projects also involve BHAVINI. The database tracks operators, reactor technologies, ownership, and commissioning status.
The database includes reactor name, plant location, state, reactor type, installed capacity, commissioning year, operator, construction status, planned capacity, and project updates, making it a comprehensive reference for India’s nuclear power sector.
India is expanding nuclear power to improve energy security, reduce carbon emissions, support electricity demand, and achieve long-term clean energy targets. Government initiatives, advanced reactor technologies, and future SMR development are expected to accelerate industry growth.
The database is intended for energy companies, utilities, EPC contractors, investors, consultants, government agencies, equipment suppliers, researchers, and policymakers requiring accurate reactor-level intelligence.
