The company told the media that the company's process equipment division will be providing the steam generators for the indigenous project and is the biggest order for the division to date.

Godrej Process Equipment has been a major global fabricator of high-end critical static equipment for the process industry for decades now, said Hussain Shariyarr, business head of the company.

The Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) has designed Indian PHWRs, and one reactor is operational at Gujarat's Kakrapar.

More reactors are under construction at Gorakhpur village in Haryana, and Kakrapar, Rawatbhata in Rajasthan.
