NPCIL can't fund the entire nuclear program, so support was sought from cash-rich PSUs like NTCP and IOC is essential. Power consumers on board are NALCO and Indian Railways. Govt has solved suppliers risk issues (for foreign & domestic) through insurance, and has identified land & foreign tech partners. Funding tie-up with PSUs will double future construction plans. Govt is negotiating bulk orders (of 6 reactors) to considerably lower the costs, as well as leverage foreign tech transfers and Make in India (see link 1).

Fast breeder plants (that recycle & reuse hazardous wastes) and new-gen advanced thorium plants (see link 2) are expected to be 9.3GB. Thus out of 63GB total, 53.7GB are based on first gen tech, 33.9 GB foreign & 19.8 GB indigenous (see below).
