The Union Government has given the green signal to the proposed 10,000 MWe
nuclear power plant in Kovvada, Srikakulam, Andhra Pradesh. The government had
kept the Kovvada project on hold following protests by locals and the nuclear
mishap in Japan in May 2011.
The government has given all necessary clearances to go ahead with the
construction work. NPCIL will be executing the project.
