Excelsior Correspondent NEW DELHI, Oct 18: The formal launch of work on Units 3 and 4 of Kundankulam Nuclear Plant by Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin during the BRICS Summit on 15th of this month will boost India's nuclear power capability and generation in a big way and serve to meet the country's growing energy needs in the times to come. This was stated here today by Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Development of North Eastern Region (DoNER), MoS PMO, Personnel, Public Grievances, Pensions, Atomic Energy and Space, Dr Jitendra Singh while speaking to media persons after the conclusion of a review meeting of the Departments of Atomic Energy and Space attended by senior scientists and officers.

Elaborating further, Dr Jitendra Singh said, the Kudankulam Plant, which is planned to have six units in total, had only one completely functional unit when the present Government took over two years ago. There was a delay in commissioning the second Unit of the Plant which was overcome through fast-track follow up, as a result of which, the critical testing of Unit-2 was done around the month of July this year and is expected to become totally functional before the end of this year. Of the remaining four Units, Dr Jitendra Singh explained, the Modi-Putin launch has paved the way for going ahead with the setting up of 3rd and 4th Units. The expected timeline is year 2023 for commissioning of Unit-3 followed by Unit-4 subsequently. During the Modi-Putin meeting, credit protocol was also accomplished for Units 5 & 6 which also signifies a further headway, he said. Pertinent to mention that Kundakulam Nuclear Plant is one of the most productive Nuclear Plants in the entire region and is envisaged to have six Units in total capable of producing 1000 MW of nuclear power per Unit. This will turn a new leaf, not only in the nuclear growth of India, but also in the energy producing capacity of India in the years to come.
