The 500 MWe Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam marks India’s transition to the second stage of its nuclear programme, enabling plutonium recycling and paving the way for thorium utilisation. Scheduled for commissioning by 2026, the PFBR is a cornerstone of India’s closed fuel cycle strategy.

Tata Consulting Engineers (TCE) provided civil and structural design, piping and electrical engineering, and instrumentation systems for reactor auxiliaries. The team supported procurement and commissioning activities for critical systems.
