Nuclear Fuel Complex
Nuclear Fuel Complex is a IND company active in the nuclear fuel chain as fabrication.
A unit of the Department of Atomic Energy, not of the reactor operator, fabricating fuel for India's fleet at Hyderabad since 1971 and at a second complex at Kota from May 2026. India runs mostly heavy water reactors, so most of what it makes needs no enrichment at all.

Nuclear Fuel Complex in context
Nuclear Fuel Complex has 2 facilities on record in 1 country (India): 2 operating. The oldest operating one was commissioned in 2026.
How these are worked out: shares and ranks use the world totals cited in the table, and only named companies are ranked (unnamed or country-level entries in a source are not). A facility with no stated capacity is counted as a facility but adds nothing to a capacity figure. Vendor figures count operating units where this company is the recorded reactor vendor; ages count from the start-up year on record, and build times run from construction start to grid connection, as on the age and build-times pages.
