Kakrapar Atomic Power Station with two IPHWR-700 units under construction in the Indian state of Gujarat

The IPHWR (Indian Pressurized Heavy Water Reactor) is a class of Indian pressurized heavy-water reactors designed by the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre. The baseline 220 MWe design was developed from the CANDU based RAPS-1 and RAPS-2 reactors built at Rawatbhata, Rajasthan. Later the design was indigenised and scaled to 540 MWe and 700 MWe. Currently there are 19 units of various types operational at various locations in India (14 IPHWR-220, 2 IPHWR - 540 and 3 IPHWR-700) and 13 more IPHWR-700 reactors planned or under construction.
