India Nuclear Energy Expansion

under implementation

The Government of India has launched an ambitious Nuclear Energy Mission aiming to achieve 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047. The plan includes enhancing fuel availability through increased domestic production and diversified imports, encouraging public and private sector participation, and focusing on R&D for Small Modular Reactors and advanced nuclear technologies. Currently, India has an installed nuclear capacity of 8,780 MW with 13,600 MW under various stages of implementation, including the 500 MW Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor by BHAVINI. The installed capacity is projected to reach 22,380 MW by 2031-32 as a foundation for the 100 GW target.
