Large forgings, reactor pressure vessels, steam generators, turbines, heavy-duty components and nuclear-grade steel require capabilities concentrated among a handful of companies
The investment will be used to fund EESL’s greenfield lithium-ion battery manufacturing project in Bengaluru and meet other funding requirements
More than 74 per cent of electricity used at public charging stations in FY26 went to heavy-duty chargers serving electric buses, trucks, high-capacity passenger coaches and commercial fleets
The plan also proposes bringing more greenfield areas under the agriculture-cum-solar farm scheme and increasing the use of renewable energy across public infrastructure
The scheme, which will come into effect from 1 September, was approved on Tuesday, according to the Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas
The project is being developed by KPI Green Energy under the IPP model and is backed by a long-term power purchase agreement (PPA) with Gujarat Urja Vikas Nigam Limited (GUVNL)
The company generated 892 million units of green power during FY26, up from 632 million units in FY25
The project is also expected to complement the recently commissioned Dergaon-Dimapur Pipeline, which has connected Nagaland to the North East Gas Grid and the National Gas Grid
