Jaitapur is a small port situated in Rajapur Tehsil of Ratnagiri district, Maharashtra State, India. Jaitapur lies on the Arabian sea coast.
Jaitapur came into limelight due to the proposed Jaitapur Nuclear Power Project by Nuclear Power Corporation of India. It is proposed to construct 6 reactors each 1650 megawatts, thus totaling to 9900 megawatts. French multinational Areva has been awarded the contract to construct these reactors. The actual plant site is situated at Madban, a village besides Jaitapur. However the project has been named after Jaitapur, as it the port for the project.
