Adani Power has formed a step down subsidiary to operate in the nuclear energy sector, the company announced on Friday. The new entity will sit under the existing corporate structure of Adani Power and be tasked with developing, owning and operating projects in the civil nuclear space. Company representatives stated that the move reflects a strategic decision to expand the group’s presence beyond thermal generation into low carbon baseload options.

The subsidiary will focus on project development, operations and maintenance within regulated and merchant frameworks and on collaborations with equipment suppliers and technology partners. It will evaluate opportunities across the value chain, including plant construction, commissioning and long term operations. The structure aims to segregate nuclear activities from other generation businesses to enable targeted governance and financing arrangements.

The company indicated that the new arm will comply with all statutory and regulatory requirements applicable to civil nuclear projects and will engage with relevant ministries and regulators as required. It will pursue licences and clearances under prevailing rules and standards and will adopt international safety and quality benchmarks in project implementation. Adani Power will retain oversight through board representation and dedicated management teams for the subsidiary.

Management said a dedicated entity is intended to streamline capital allocation and strengthen risk management while enabling clearer investor assessment of nuclear projects within the wider group. The arrangement is designed to facilitate partnerships and to attract project level financing suited to the technical and regulatory profile of nuclear assets. The company said it will provide updates on incorporation and on the subsidiary’s mandate as initial governance steps are completed.

Adani Power will align the new arm with its corporate sustainability goals and with national objectives for secure low emission energy supply. The move complements existing operations and is presented as part of a broader strategy to diversify the group’s generation portfolio while meeting regulatory obligations. Further operational details and timelines will be disclosed as the incorporation process progresses.
