In February 2009, Areva had signed a deal with NPCIL to supply two to six 1,650MW nuclear power reactors at the Jaitapur in Maharashtra.
India plans to develop about 20 new nuclear power plants to help supply its increasing energy needs.
The nuclear power industry in the country is expanding rapidly to increase its total capacity output from the current 4,500MW to 64,000MW by 2032.
