Larsen & Toubro’s (L&T) Heavy Engineering division has achieved a significant milestone by delivering the third Steam Generator (SG) for the 10 x 700 Megawatt-electric (MWe) Pressurised Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) fleet program ahead of schedule. The SG was dispatched from L&T’s A M Naik Heavy Engineering Complex at Hazira, Gujarat, to the Karnataka-based Kaiga Atomic Power Station (KAIGA) Units 5 & 6. This achievement is a testament to L&T’s commitment to delivering high-quality products on time and meeting the Department of Atomic Energy’s (DAE) target to install 22 GWe nuclear power by 2032 and India’s vision of 100 GWe by 2047.

The company is committed to contributing to India’s nuclear power capacity, aligning with Prime Minister Narendra Modi’s vision for an Aatmanirbhar Bharat. The delivery of the third SG demonstrates L&T’s capability to produce critical equipment with world-class quality and speed.
The A M Naik Heavy Engineering Manufacturing Complex at Hazira is globally benchmarked, fully integrated, and digitally enabled, enabling the production of high-quality products. L&T aims to deliver 6-8 nos 700 MWe Steam Generators every year and is also committed to the success of the 220 MWe Bharat Small Reactor (BSR) program, which aims to achieve net-zero carbon emissions by 2070.
