Indian Nuclear Supply Chain Ecosystem- A Fraternity defining Platform to help Members tap global Opportunities through Synergies

Dear Linkedin Fraternity members/ My Connections

Greetings.

This is to inform you that a Platform (Linkedin standard group) has been formed called Indian Nuclear Supply Chain Ecosystem-Developing Buyer's Guide (Competency Mapping Process). It has a Nationalistic Agenda.

We invite interest from Linked Fraternity members/ My Connections to join the group.

The Raison Detre/ Purpose of the Group

There is tremendous scope in India for nuclear business as nationalist government (Modi 2.0) is again in its 2nd term comfortably. The Nuclear Power Capacity Agenda of the same is also attached and its is to be done through #MakeinIndia i.e. Indian companies preferred to execute orders. Hence there is big scope for Indian companies in the nuclear sector but It needs a lot #Collaborations/ #JointVentures/ #ToTs.

Globally the market for New Nuclear Builds is pegged at a massive US$ 1.2 trillion(1,232 billion). Quite a few nations like #Canada, UK and #France have mentioned targets of how much their #nuclearsupplychainecosystem will take share from this market. They all have a defined broadbased and diversified ecosystem. France for instance has the ecosystem defined under AIFEN and there are 2500 companies employing 2,25,000 people.

India does not have a defined #nuclearsupplychainecosystem and all the orders for domestic as well as exports are on ad hoc basis. There is no concerted effort to either Advocate with the Government or market the Capabilities of the #nuclearsupplychainecosystem on a global scale.

This platform envisages the following Strategy Roadmap and highlight India:

1. Firstly to Map the current capabilities of the interested members along with their Facilities and Certifications. Also to recommend members the kind of Capability upgrade needed through a panel of nuclear Professional (Ex-directors of NPCIL, Foreign Experts etc)
2. Aim at building a narrative that India is a Compelling Proposition for being Supply Chain Base of global Nuclear New Builds (NNBs) operations because of #engineering and #digital #capabilities like UK's Nuclear Industries Association does

1. Also if possible to advocate with the government to look at more possibilities within the nuclear sector like having Thorium based energy or Small modular Reactors (SMRs) which would enhance the scope of business for platform members
2. Ultimately to use synergies develop from collective for mutual benefit like Collaborations/ JVs/ #PrivateEquity funding/ Reimbursement of R&D investments or Employee Skilling expenses.

The proposed Plan of Action (PoA)

This concept is line with similar Buyer’s Guide published in other countries for their Nuclear Ecosystem with the agenda to market it.

A detailed Questionnaire (in Excel format) has been prepared for this purpose. Indian firms are recommended to Request for the Questionnaire, and resend after filling it for compilation. (Please note that this involves no Fees/charges and also Indian companies are recommended to send in a one page Promotional Material for incorporation in annexure section). Primarily this Buyers Guide is proposed to be distributed freely amongst all foreign corporations that are actively involved in the Nuclear Engineering Domain.

The Questionnaire form will circulated among members after a Threshold Level of around 300 members is reached so that the proposed Buyer’s Guide looks a Compelling Proposition to the Foreign Buyer Market.

Everybody is requested to come on board and join the Group Also Like, Comment and Share to make this a success.
