India's Nuclear Future: How Small Modular Reactors Could Transform Energy Production
Dec 03, 2025 03:15 pm CST
India is embracing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as part of its ambitious nuclear energy expansion. These compact, factory-built nuclear reactors offer flexibility, enhanced safety, and sustainability for remote areas and industrial clusters. With a Rs 20,000 crore Nuclear Energy Mission and plans for five indigenously developed SMRs by 2033, India is positioning itself at the forefront of nuclear innovation while pursuing its 100 gigawatt nuclear capacity goal and net-zero emissions by 2070.
India's Nuclear Energy Expansion: 100 GW Target to Power Carbon-Free Development by 2047
Nov 22, 2025 12:24 am CST
India is implementing an ambitious nuclear energy strategy to meet its growing power demands while pursuing climate goals. The government targets 100 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2047, opening the sector to private investment and developing indigenous technology alongside international partnerships. This expansion is supported by significant budget increases, fleet-mode construction approaches, and development of small modular reactors to establish nuclear power as a cornerstone of India's clean energy future.
India's $77 Billion Hydroelectric Expansion Plan for Brahmaputra Basin Amid Regional Water Security Concerns
Oct 13, 2025 09:35 pm CST
India has unveiled a $77 billion plan to harness over 76 gigawatts of hydroelectric potential from the Brahmaputra basin by 2047, developing 208 projects across northeastern states. This strategic initiative addresses growing energy demands while navigating concerns about upstream Chinese dam construction that could potentially reduce water flow by 85% during dry seasons.
