Explanation

The joint venture named 'ASHVINI' (Anushakti Vidhyut Nigam Limited) is a partnership between the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and NTPC Limited [2]. This supplementary joint venture agreement was signed to develop, build, own, and operate nuclear power facilities across India [3]. ASHVINI operates within the legal framework of the Atomic Energy Act of 1962, as amended in 2015, which allows for such collaborations between public sector undertakings [1]. One of the primary projects assigned to this joint venture is the development of the 4x700 MWe Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor (PHWR) at the Mahi-Banswara Rajasthan Atomic Power Project [4]. This partnership leverages NPCIL's nuclear expertise and NTPC's experience in large-scale power project execution to accelerate India's nuclear energy capacity [3].
