Maharashtra Signs Rs 6.5 Trillion Nuclear Energy MoUs

01 Jun 2026 CW Team

Reliance Industries is slated to invest Rs 2 trillion to develop 7,200 MW of nuclear capacity and was described as the largest employment contributor, with more than 100,000 jobs expected across construction and operational phases. Adani Power plans to invest Rs 1.5 trillion for projects totalling 6,000 MW and to generate around 12,000 direct and indirect jobs. State-run NTPC proposed Rs 1 trillion to develop 7,200 MW and to create nearly 5,000 jobs, while Lalitpur Power Generation Company Ltd of the Bajaj Group intends to invest Rs 2 trillion to build 5,000 MW and produce roughly 3,000 jobs.

Officials said the measures are aimed at strengthening Maharashtra’s long-term energy security and at providing round-the-clock clean power that complements renewable expansion and improves grid stability. The state presented the investments as aligned with decarbonisation objectives and with efforts to meet rising industrial consumption without increasing dependence on fossil fuels. The aggregate capacity and employment estimates were conveyed by the state government and form the basis for the MoUs.

The agreements are memorandums and will require project-level clearances and further approvals before implementation. The state indicated that, if realised, the initiatives could reposition Maharashtra as a leader in clean energy development and in attracting large-scale infrastructure investment. The moves reflect a wider national focus on nuclear power as a component of future energy strategy.

The Maharashtra government has signed memorandums of understanding with four companies to attract investments worth Rs 6.5 trillion (Rs 6.5 trillion) in the nuclear energy sector. The agreements with NTPC, Adani Power, Reliance Industries and Lalitpur Power Generation Company were presented by the state as measures that would deliver 25,400 megawatt (MW) of power capacity and create about 123,500 jobs, according to the state government. The package was framed as a significant expansion of clean baseload generation to support growing industrial and electricity demand.
