Transformers and Rectifiers (India) Ltd. (TARIL) has secured an order from Megha Engineering and Infrastructures Ltd. (MEIL) to supply generator transformers for the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL) Kaiga Units 5 and 6 nuclear power project in Karnataka. The order marks TARIL’s first entry into India’s nuclear power sector.
The generator transformers will form a critical part of the electrical infrastructure, supporting power evacuation from the nuclear units and integration with the transmission network.
Kaiga Units 5 and 6 comprise two indigenous 700 MWe Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), which together will add 1,400 MW of nuclear generation capacity at the site. The project is part of India’s indigenous 700 MWe PHWR programme.
With this order, TARIL is expanding its high-voltage transformer manufacturing expertise into the nuclear power segment, strengthening its position in critical power infrastructure and supporting India’s growing focus on domestic nuclear energy capabilities.
