✨ Key Takeaways
Transformers and Rectifiers (India) Limited (TARIL) has entered the nuclear power sector after securing an order for the supply of generator transformers for the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited’s (NPCIL) Kaiga Units 5 & 6 project in Karnataka.
The order has been received from Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Limited (MEIL) and marks TARIL’s first order in the nuclear power sector. The development adds a new segment to the Company’s portfolio of critical power infrastructure projects.
TARIL Enters Nuclear Power Sector
Kaiga Units 5 & 6 comprise two indigenous 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) being developed by NPCIL at Kaiga in Karnataka.
The two units are part of India’s indigenous 700 MWe PHWR programme and are aimed at expanding the country’s nuclear power generation capacity while strengthening domestic technology and manufacturing capabilities.
Together, the two units are expected to add 1,400 MW of nuclear generation capacity at the Kaiga site.
TARIL’s generator transformers will form a critical part of the project’s electrical infrastructure. These transformers will support the evacuation of electricity generated by the nuclear power units and its integration with the transmission network.
Commenting on the development, Satyen Mamtora, Managing Director and CEO of Transformers and Rectifiers (India), said – “The company was proud to mark its entry into the nuclear power sector with the order for NPCIL.”
He added that nuclear energy is expected to play an important role in India’s long-term energy security and clean energy ambitions, and said the Company was pleased to contribute its transformer manufacturing capabilities to the project.
