Jaitapur Project

French President Emmanuel Macron will visit India early next year amid a renewed push for the construction of nuclear power reactors at Jaitapur in Maharashtra.

President Emmanuel Macron on Thursday (local time) said France and India will hold discussions on Jaitapur nuclear project by the end of this year.

Voicing its staunch opposition to the Jaitapur nuclear power plant, the Shiv Sena has sent a detailed report on the project to Prime Minister Narendra Modi, highlighting the "adverse impact" it would have on the green belt in Maharashtra's Konkan region.

The partial and conditional environmental clearance granted to the proposed 9,900-MW Jaitapur nuclear power project in Maharashtra has lapsed and its extension has been sought amid objections by activists opposed to the controversial plant.

Ignoring ally Shiv Sena's opposition to the proposed Jaitapur nuclear power plant, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today asserted that there is no question of going back on the project.

Amidst protests by its ally Shiv Sena against setting up a nuclear power project in Jaitapur, Maharashtra Chief Minister Devendra Fadnavis today said that the project has now reached a stage from where there is no option of going back.

The signing of agreement between India and France for fast-tracking the stalled nuclear power project in Jaitapur in Maharashtra is likely to increase tensions between Shiv Sena and BJP, which govern the state together. The project was among the 17 pacts signed between the two countries during Prime Minister Narendra Modi's visit to Paris.

The proposal of France setting up nuclear reactors in Jaitapur in Maharashtra is being dealt with at "techno-commercial" level, India said yesterday while maintaining suspense over whether the upcoming visit of Prime Minister Narendra Modi will see progress on this front.

The Shiv Sena on Monday toughened its stance vis-a-vis the BJP on the upcoming Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project, saying if the BJP wanted it so badly, it could shift the 'monstrous project' to Gujarat.

The Shiv Sena today refused to budge from their stand on the ambitious nuclear power project at Jaitapur, in coastal Maharashtra, saying the party would continue to oppose it.
