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.
The Global Race for Small Modular Reactors: How Russia, China and India Are Revolutionizing Nuclear Energy
