GIA announces the release of a comprehensive report on Nuclear Power Market in India. Demand for electricity has been growing at a rapid pace in India, with per capita demand increasing steadily. However, with limited coal reserves and about 30-40% transmission losses, the generated electricity has been unable to address the surging power demand. Though thermal power accounts for about 65% of the total electricity produced, limited coal reserves are compelling India to seek alternative sources of electricity generation such as nuclear power.
San Jose, California (PRWEB) January 12, 2012
As of 2011, India operated 20 nuclear reactors with a combined capacity of 4,780 MW. Additionally, seven nuclear power plants are presently under construction. In terms of number of nuclear power reactors, India represents the sixth largest country worldwide. The recent years witnessed a dip in available domestic sources of nuclear fuel that created a demand-supply gap. The situation forced most of the nuclear power plants in India to operate at lower levels than their full capacity. Besides, the dearth in nuclear fuel stalled commencement of operations of new reactors, which were scheduled for start in 2007 and 2008. However, the supply situation improved with the opening of Turamdih mill in Jharkhand in the year 2008, and further due to increasing supply from overseas markets, which enabled significant increase in availability levels at currently operated reactors.
India has signed nuclear deals with as many as nine countries since the NSG lifted its ban over nuclear trade with India in 2008. The list includes countries such as USA, Russia, France, Canada, Kazakhstan, Mongolia, Namibia, Argentina, and South Korea, with South Korea being the latest to join the suit. The US represents the first country that India signed a nuclear deal with. Of all the countries, France and Russia have benefited significantly than others with the countries entering into agreement to build nuclear power plants in India, while companies in the US are still competing with each other in terms of entering the market in the wake of India passing the nuclear liability bill. While most countries have agreed to trade technologies with India, Kazakhstan has commenced supplying uranium to India.
