Railways in Talks with DAE to Establish Small Nuclear Power Plants

Indian Railways has begun discussions with the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and the Ministry of Power to establish small nuclear power plants for its energy needs. This initiative aligns with the transporter’s goal of achieving net zero emissions by 2030.

Railways will provide land and an offtake assurance, while DAE and the power ministry will oversee plant setup and ensure a fuel supply agreement, according to officials.

The plants will support the transporter in meeting its projected 10 GW traction power demand by the decade’s end.
