The government is open to specific offers of foreign investment in the nuclear power sector, Minister of State for Atomic Energy and Space Vasundhara Raje said on Thursday.

She informed the Rajya Sabha in a written reply that the government would allow specific investment offers from the Indian private sector as well in the nuclear power sector.

However, the government has not received any concrete proposals to set up nuclear power plants in the country. ''Such offers, when received, would have to be considered under the prevalent rules and regulations,'' she said.
