This is reported by the news agency Reuters.

As noted, the reactors should be designed exclusively by Indian enterprises. In this regard, it is necessary to create more than 33,000 new jobs.

Such production orders for the domestic industry will be an important step on the way to strengthening the reputation of India as a major nuclear energy producer. Now India operates 22 reactors with a capacity of 6780 megawatts.

At the moment, reactors are being built at a further 6700 megawatts, they should be launched in 2021-2022.

It is worth noting that in India at the moment about 70 percent of electricity production is provided by thermal power plants that operate mainly on coal.

By the way, by 2021-2022 it is planned to launch reactors with a total capacity of 6,700 megawatts, which are currently under construction.

Recall, as previously reported, "URA-Inform", in Ukraine, the construction of a repository of spent nuclear fuel.
