HEY LOVELY!!
HERE IS YOUR ANSWER....
The Rajasthan Atomic Power Station (RAPS; also Rajasthan Atomic Power Project - RAPP) is located at Rawatbhata in the state ofRajasthan, India.
The construction of the Douglas Point Nuclear Generating Station Canada began in 1961 with a CANDU (CANada Deuterium Uranium)pressurised heavy water reactor (PHWR) capable of producing 220 MW of electricity. Two years after construction of the Rajasthan Power Project (RAPP) commenced, with two similar reactors built in the state of Rajasthan. Ten years later, in 1973 RAPS-1 was put into service. In 1974 after India conducted Smiling Buddha, its first nuclear weapons test Canada stopped their support of the project, delaying the commissioning of RAPS-2 until 1981.[1]
In the context of the Indian atomic program, two more PHWR with an output of 220 MW each were built. They cost around 570 million dollars. RAPS-3 became critical on 24 December 1999, RAPS-4 became critical on 3 November 2000. Commercial operations began on 1 June 2000 for unit 3, and on 23 December 2000 for unit 4.
Two more reactors (RAPS-5 and RAPS-6) with 220 MWe have also been built, with unit 5 beginning commercial operation on 4 February 2010, and unit 6 on 31 March 2010

Rawat Bhatia Nuclear Power Station was first facility in India to operate heavy water reactors.
RAPS' Unit-1 was built as 220MWe CANDU PHWR and constructed with Canadian help.
Although Unit-1 started commercial operations in 1973 where construction of Unit-2 was delayed when Canadians withdrew help after nuclear test at Pokharan in 1974.
Unit-2 started operations in April 1981 as 220MWe capable PHWR.
Two additional PHWRs started commercial operations at RAPS.
New facilities of Unit-3 and Unit-4 were developed and generated energy at 220MWe capacity.
