\nCEA, the apex technical organization under the Ministry of Power, Government of India, celebrated its 52nd Foundation Day on October 11, 2025 at the Auditorium, Library Building, Central Water Commission (CWC), R.K. Puram, Sector-1, New Delhi with an aim to deliberate on the Road Map for development of 100 GW Nuclear Capacity by 2047 in the country in alignment with its long-term energy and climate objectives.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Working towards the vision of ensuring reliable 24\u00d77 power supply of adequate quality to all consumers in the country, the CEA has been at the forefront of the evolution of the power sector in India, with its pivotal role in planning and managing the country’s electricity needs. Over the last five decades of its history, the Authority has consistently demonstrated its commitment to ensuring reliable and sustainable power supply to the nation.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

The event was held in the gracious presence of Shri Pankaj Agarwal, Secretary, Ministry of Power, who graced the occasion as the Chief Guest. Senior officials from the Ministry of Power, Public Sector Undertakings, State Utilities, Industry Associations, and officers and staff of CEA participated in the celebration.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In his address, Shri Pankaj Agarwal commended the outstanding contribution of CEA in the coordinated development of the Indian power sector. He highlighted CEA\u2019s instrumental role in policy formulation, power system planning, and promoting technological innovation to ensure a reliable, affordable, and sustainable electricity supply for the nation. He emphasized that as India moves towards achieving its \u2018Net-Zero by 2070\u2019 commitment, CEA\u2019s leadership will be crucial in enabling large-scale renewable integration, advancing nuclear capacity, and enhancing grid security and resilience.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Delivering the welcome address, Shri Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson, CEA, recalled the Authority\u2019s journey since its inception in 1973. He highlighted the Authority\u2019s achievements in generation and transmission planning, formulation of technical standards, and modernization of the electricity grid. He underscored the growing importance of data-driven decision-making, digitalization, and innovation in steering India\u2019s power sector towards sustainability and efficiency.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

As part of the Foundation Day celebration, a series of significant releases and launches were made by the Chief Guest and Chairperson, CEA:<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

1. Release of \u2018Vidyut Vahini\u2019 \u2014 Hindi Quarterly Magazine (Special Edition) on \u201cContribution of Nuclear Energy in Electricity Sector\u201d, published by CEA.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n
