TheNuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) is an Indianpublic sector undertaking based inMumbai,Maharashtra. It is wholly owned by theGovernment of India and is responsible for the generation ofelectricity fromnuclear power. NPCIL is administered by theDepartment of Atomic Energy (DAE).

NPCIL was created in September 1987 under theCompanies Act 1956, "with the objective of undertaking the design, construction, operation and maintenance of theatomic power stations for generation of electricity in pursuance of the schemes and programmes of the Government of India under the provision of the Atomic Energy Act 1962." All nuclear power plants operated by the company are certified forISO-14001 (Environment Management System).

NPCIL was the sole body responsible for constructing and operating India's commercial nuclear power plants until the setting up ofBHAVINI Vidyut Nigam in October 2003. As of December 2024, the company had 24nuclear reactors in operation at seven locations, and one under permanent shut down. The total installed capacity of the plants is 8180 MWe.[4][5] Subsequent to the government's decision to allow private companies to providenuclear power, the company has experienced problems withprivate enterprises "poaching" its employees.[6]
