Detailed Solution:

The correct answer is “Maharashtra”.
India is advancing its nuclear energy capabilities with two key projects: the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant in Maharashtra and the Gorakhpur (Fatehabad District) Nuclear Power Project in Haryana, the first nuclear facility in North India.

The Jaitapur plant, once operational, will house six nuclear reactors, each with a capacity of 1,730 MW, totaling 10,380 MW—contributing 10% of India's 100 GW nuclear energy target by 2047.
