India's Nuclear Energy Expansion to 100 GW by 2047

planned

India aims to expand its nuclear energy capacity from 8.78 GW to 100 GW by 2047 through advanced reactor technology, strategic policy reforms, and infrastructure scaling. The program includes development of uranium mining, fuel reprocessing, heavy engineering manufacturing, and financing mechanisms. The expansion involves deployment of 24 operational reactors, 18 reactors under construction, and accelerated annual capacity additions of 3.5-4 GW. The strategy includes a three-stage nuclear program transitioning from natural uranium PHWRs to fast breeder reactors and thorium-based reactors, complemented by Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) for deployment speed.
