Prime Minister Narendra Modi inaugurated two new Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors at the Kakrapar Atomic Power Station in Gujarat's Surat district earlier today, enhancing the facility's capacity by 1,400 megawatts. The inauguration was part of Modi's two-day visit to the district, which also saw significant cultural activities, including the lighting of five lakh earthen lamps at Gomti Ghat in Dwarka earlier today (Wednesday) ahead of his arrival. The addition of these reactors underscores India's ongoing commitment to expanding its nuclear energy capacity as a means of meeting its growing energy demands while adhering to environmental sustainability goals.
