## A N S W E R

## THE MINISTER OF STATE IN THE MINISTRY OF POWER (SHRI SHRIPAD NAIK)

- (a) :    The State/UT-wise details of annual electricity generated in the country during  the  last three  years  and  current  year  (till  May-2025)  including Chhattisgarh are given at Annexure-I.

(b) :    The present Installed Capacity of Nuclear Generation in India is 8,780 MW (excluding 100 MW of Rajasthan Atomic Power Station-I (RAPS-I), which is under extended shutdown). The list of all operational Nuclear power reactors along with their rated capacity is given at Annexure-II.

(c) :   The Government has announced an ambitious Nuclear Energy Mission with a target of reaching a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047. To facilitate this mission, necessary amendments will be brought in the Atomic Energy  Act  and  Civil  Liability  for  Nuclear  Damage  Act  to  enable  private investment  in  nuclear  power  sector.  The  Government  has  also  announced measures  for  enabling  R&D  in  Small  Module  Reactors  (SMRs)  and  new advanced technologies.

(d) :   Power supply position of the country during the year 2024-25 in terms of Energy and Peak is given at Annexure-III. This indicates that the energy deficit and peak deficit in the country during the year 2024-25 was almost Nil. (e) :   Nuclear  power  is  a  clean  base  load  source  of  electricity  which  is available  24x7.  The  Greenhouse gas emissions during the  total lifecycle of Nuclear power plant is comparable to renewables like Hydro and Wind. The nuclear energy mission announced in the Budget-2025 envisages deployment of 100 GW of nuclear energy by 2047. This initiative will increase the share of nuclear energy in India's energy mix for long term energy transition strategy

for Viksit Bharat.
