India's Nuclear Power Capacity Expansion to 100 GW by 2047

planned

India aims to expand its nuclear power capacity to 100 GW by 2047 as part of its energy security strategy. NTPC plans to build around 30 GW of this target from zero today. The project involves leveraging nuclear energy alongside coal and renewables with storage to ensure dispatchable power. The government has enacted the Shanti Act to facilitate private sector participation in nuclear power, addressing concerns like liability and participation rules. Execution challenges include standardizing designs, faster regulatory clearances, and improving state-level acceptance.
