Vedanta Power names ex-NPCIL executive to head nuclear strategy
Vedanta Power Limited has appointed Kishor U Agrawal, a former senior executive at Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited, as Director, Nuclear Strategy & Advisory. He will report to CEO Rajinder Singh Ahuja.

He subsequently served as Vice President – Nuclear Business at Jindal India Power Limited and held a role as Executive Director – Technical & Strategic, India at Tenex JSC.
Scope of the new role
In his new position, Agrawal is charged with developing a 5–10 GW nuclear power roadmap covering both large reactors and small modular reactors, evaluating reactor OEMs, and progressing technology transfer and localisation efforts.
Strengthening indigenous manufacturing and vendor capabilities
Assessing project economics including CAPEX, OPEX, and levelised cost of electricity
