The nation’s first two nuclear reactors at the Tarapur Atomic Power Station (TAPS) will remain offline for another five months due to delays in receiving essential components. Scheduled for reactivation on May 9, the reactors will now resume operations in October. The delay stems from awaited deliveries of special metal pipes from Italy. The overhaul, costing ₹351 crore, aims to address immediate concerns and extend the reactors’ operational life by a decade. Despite challenges, authorities anticipate completing the repairs by mid-September, followed by rigorous testing before power generation resumes in November.
