KSB Pumps Ltd has secured a €55 million order from M/s Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) to supply primary coolant pumps as a part of the Make in India initiative.
The eight primary coolant pumps – RSR 400/2 and related accessories – will be installed at NPCIL’s Gorakhpur Anu Vidyut Pariyojana 1 & 2 project in Haryana.
The pumps will be manufactured at KSB’s Energy Pumps Division in Shirwal, near Pune. Pump delivery is expected to start in June 2021 with a target to complete the order by March 2023.
