GEE secures NPCIL approval to join India’s nuclear supply chain

NPCIL qualification for welding consumables supplier

GEE Ltd, a manufacturer of welding consumables and welding solutions, said it has received approval from the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd (NPCIL). The company said the approval enables it to participate in India’s highly regulated nuclear power supply chain.

According to GEE, NPCIL’s stringent technical, quality and safety standards place it among a select group of qualified domestic suppliers, which it described as a barrier to entry against low-cost competition.

Capacity expansion backdrop

GEE linked the approval to plans for expanding India’s nuclear power capacity from 8.8 GW to 22.5 GW by 2031 and 100 GW by 2047.

The company said nuclear projects typically involve large capital investments, milestone-based payments and multi-year execution cycles, which it expects to support longer-term revenue visibility.

What GEE plans to supply

GEE said it will support India’s nuclear power programme by supplying specialised welding consumables and engineering solutions for critical nuclear power applications.
