Is NPCIL Down?

If you're experiencing issues with NPCIL (Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited) website, try these troubleshooting steps:

Basic Steps

• 1. Verify your internet connection: Ensure you are online and other websites load properly. Try switching from Wi-Fi to mobile data or vice versa to rule out local network issues.
• 2. Clear your browser cache and cookies: NPCIL's portal (npcil.nic.in) may load outdated scripts. Clear your browser history, cache, and cookies, then refresh the page.
• 3. Try a different browser or device: If the site is not loading on Chrome, try Firefox, Edge, or Safari. Also test on a different smartphone or desktop to isolate the issue.
• 4. Disable VPN or proxy extensions: VPNs or corporate proxies can block or slow down the NPCIL server responses. Temporarily disable them and try accessing the site directly.
• 5. Restart your router/modem: Power cycle your networking equipment by unplugging it for 30 seconds and plugging it back in. This resolves most DNS and connection hiccups.

Intermediate Steps

• 1. Check your DNS resolution: NPCIL's DNS may be intermittently unreachable. Flush your DNS cache using the command ipconfig /flushdns (Windows) or sudo dscacheutil -flushcache (Mac). Then retry.
• 2. Test with a public DNS server: Switch to Google (8.8.8.8 / 8.8.4.4) or Cloudflare (1.1.1.1) DNS in your network settings. This can bypass regional ISP-level DNS outages affecting npcil.nic.in.
• 3. Check for specific portal/login issues: If you are experiencing errors after logging into NPCIL's employee/vendor portal, ensure 'Allow third-party cookies' is enabled in your browser settings, as the site uses authentication tokens that may fail without it.
• 4. Temporarily disable firewall/antivirus security: Some security suites block government site sub-resources. Pause your firewall or antivirus for 2 minutes and refresh. Re-enable immediately after testing.

If the NPCIL website is still unreachable after following these steps, the issue may be on the server side. Please click the 'Report Outage' button on this Is It Down Bro? status page to confirm the downtime for other users and help our monitoring team track the incident in real time.
