Market Chatter: IHI to Invest 20 Billion Yen in Nuclear Plant Components Over Three Years

MT Newswires Live02-04 08:42

IHI (TYO:7013) intends to expand production capacity for nuclear power plant components with an investment of 20 billion yen in the next three years, aiming to capture demand for next-generation reactors as AI data centers drive interest in stable power sources, Nikkei reported Wednesday.

The engineering company will consider adding production lines and upgrading equipment at its Yokohama plant, which manufactures containment and pressure vessels, according to the report.

IHI has nearly doubled the site's workforce in recent years to about 800 and plans further hiring, the report said.

IHI expects revenue from its nuclear business to reach 60 billion yen in the year ending March 2026, about 4% of consolidated sales, as it seeks to build the segment while balancing risks tied to accidents and political shifts, according to the report.
