Larsen & Toubro (L&T) has successfully dispatched the fourth Steam Generator (SG) to the Kaiga Atomic Power Station in Karnataka, completing a full set of four SGs for one unit of India’s indigenous 10×700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) Fleet Programme. This achievement was completed nine months ahead of schedule, demonstrating L&T’s commitment to excellence and timely project execution.
The fourth SG was dispatched from L&T’s A. M. Naik Heavy Engineering Complex in Hazira, Gujarat, and was attended by senior officials from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL). The entire set of four SGs was delivered within 45 months, setting new global benchmarks in nuclear equipment manufacturing and delivery.
This milestone is significant not only for its scale and speed but also for its alignment with India’s vision for nuclear energy. L&T’s Heavy Engineering arm has been a trusted partner to NPCIL and the Department of Atomic Energy for over six decades, and the company remains committed to accelerating India’s nuclear power capacity.
The dispatch is also a testament to L&T’s capabilities in supporting India’s strategic sectors, including nuclear, defence, and space. The A.M. Naik Heavy Engineering Manufacturing Complex is a state-of-the-art facility that produces critical and high-precision equipment for India’s indigenous nuclear power programme.
L&T’s contribution to the Viksit Bharat 2047 initiative, a roadmap aimed at transforming India into a developed nation through sustainable and indigenous energy solutions, is also significant. The company’s nuclear team continues to set industry benchmarks, with a large talent pool trained in a robust nuclear quality culture ensuring consistent first-time-right execution and globally benchmarked deliveries.
