Bihar to house new nuclear power plant
Big news for Bihar—it's about to get its very first nuclear power plant, powered by next-gen Small Modular Reactor (SMR) technology.
The announcement came from Union Power Minister Manohar Lal Khattar, and it's part of a larger push to boost India's energy security.
The central government is fully backing the project after Bihar officially asked for it.
These are the details
This marks a major upgrade for Bihar's energy game.
Alongside the nuclear plant, there's also a green light for a 1,000 MW battery storage project to help balance renewable energy and keep the grid steady.
Plus, Bihar is rolling out smart meters and working hard to cut down technical losses—steps that make power supply more reliable and efficient.
While details like the exact location are still under wraps, these moves could really transform how the state powers up in the future.
