The power sector is involved in generating electricity along with its transmission and distribution at an affordable consumer rate. India is the third-largest producer of electricity globally, with 37% of electricity generated from renewable power plants and hydroelectric plants. Nuclear power in India is responsible for the large-scale generation of electricity. India’s nuclear energy and development of the nuclear power plant started in 1964. Hence, setting up nuclear power plants across India has increased the overall production and generation of electricity. Out of all the countries, India stands 13th in harnessing electricity from nuclear sources.

Nuclear energy plays a vital role in India’s energy strategy, addressing its growing power demands sustainably. Managed by the Department of Atomic Energy, India harnesses nuclear power through indigenous technologies and international collaboration. It supports energy security, reduces carbon emissions, and contributes to economic growth, aligning with the nation’s development goals.
