After the Pokhran blasts, due to International Sanctions, Nuclear Power Corporation of India Ltd. (NPCIL) was not able to get 2.4 MW DG sets for their under construction units Kaiga 3, 4 & RAPP 5 & 6 from their foreign vendors.

Since these DG sets had to be seismically qualified and tested as per IEEE 387, no Indian supplier was in a position to supply it. In such a situation, NPCIL approached Indian Railways to Design, Test, Install and Commission 2.4 MW DG sets at its Kaiga & Rawatbhata sites.
