India would set up 5 energy parks by 2032 in order to raise the generation of nuclear energy.

However, the selected sites for the energy parks are Haripur in West Bengal, Mithi Virdi in Gujarat, Jaitapur in Maharashtra, Kovvada in Andhra Pradesh and Kudamkulam in Tamil Nadu.

The country plans to have 35,000 Mw of installed capacity by 2020 and 60,000 Mw by 2032 where out of this, 40,000 Mw to 45,000 Mw would come from energy parks and the balance from the other installations.

Meanwhile, it is said that nuclear power was more competitive than other sources of energy like thermal while India would be able to generate at most 10,000 Mw of nuclear energy from its assured uranium reserves.

Since India did not have enough and good quality uranium, the country was importing it from Russia and France while the current generation level was around 4500 Mw.
