India’s NTPC Scopes 30 Sites In Fresh Bid for Nuclear Expansion

India’s state-run power producer NTPC Ltd. is scoping at least 30 locations across the country where it could build nuclear power projects, part of a plan to expand its clean energy portfolio, according to people familiar with the matter.

The sites are spread across 5 to 6 states, including Madhya Pradesh, Gujarat and Odisha, the people said, asking not to be named as the discussions aren’t final. They declined to share the exact locations, fearing it could trigger local protests.
