This para describes the safety regulation in India: The Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) was formed in 1983 and comes under the AEC but is independent of DAE. It is responsible for the regulation and licensing of all nuclear facilities, and their safety and carries authority conferred by the Atomic Energy Act for radiation safety and by the Factories Act for industrial safety in nuclear plants.
See link below for the full article on India, the above is contained in it.
As of 2021, India has 22 operational nuclear reactors across seven nuclear power plants. India has plans to increase its nuclear energy capacity through the construction of additional reactors in the coming years.
India have 20 nuclear reactors & 5 is in under development ....!!!!
No, India has both civil nuclear power reactors and nuclear weapons
See the link below
See the list in link belowThere are six nuclear power stations in India, with a total of seventeen nuclear reactors in them. There are also six research and production reactors, but such reactors are not usually included in counts of reactors in a country because they are small and do not typically put power on the electric grid._______________________________________________________An updated AnswerThere are 21 operating power reactors in India (with total electric power 5308 MW) and 6 nuclear power reactors under construction (with total electric power 3907 MW) per the statistics of the International Atomic Energy Agency as of April 2004.
As of 2010, There are six nuclear power plants, comprising 20 reactors, in India. For further information, please consult the Related Links, below.
India primarily uses uranium and thorium as radioactive elements for its nuclear reactors. Uranium is the primary fuel for Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs), while thorium is used in some reactors as a fertile material for breeding fissile uranium-233.
Apart from an early small BWR station, GE design, they have all been PHWR (Candu) types, initially built with Canadian help but more recently independently. At present two plants are being built to a Russian PWR design. See the link below for more information.
The 123 Agreement regards the opening of the nuclear fuel market to the Republic of India. 123 provisions allowed India to preserve their military reactors while gaining access to Nuclear Supply Group member states.

Only India has nuclear power reactors with thorium in operation: Kaiga, Rajasthan, Kaprakar. Bravo Indians, all before !
Nuclear power is one of the fastest growing power-generation industries in India. As of 2008, India has 17 nuclear power plants in operation generating 4,120 MW while 6 other are under construction and are expected to generate an additional 3,160 MW.[1] The Nuclear Power Corporation of India plans to generate 20,000 MW of power by 2020.[2] Currently, India stands 9th in the world in terms of number of nuclear power reactors.
