India Wants More Nuclear

Installed nuclear power capacity to increase by 200% by 2031

Future plans.

India’s long-term goal is to produce 100 GW of nuclear by 2047.  The enactment of the SHANTI Act (2025) marks a historic turning point, dismantling the decades-old state monopoly to permit private equity and aligning India’s liability framework with global standards to finally de-risk entry for international stakeholders.

India offers business opportunities across the entire spectrum of plant lifecycle of NPPs

As India’s economy accelerates toward its $35 trillion vision, energy demand is surging, with a critical focus on clean transition and grid reliability. This demand is increasingly driven by the rapid decarbonization of hard-to-abate sectors, including green hydrogen production, e-mobility, and energy-intensive industrial heating. Nuclear power has officially moved to the top of the national agenda as the only viable baseload alternative to coal, essential for meeting India’s dual goals of energy security and net-zero emissions by 2070.

With the current installed capacity reaching 8.78 GW and a robust pipeline of over 13.6 GW in construction and pre-project stages, India offers an unparalleled scale of opportunity. Following the passage of the landmark SHANTI Bill in December 2025, the estimated business potential has jumped to over USD 214 Billion. This potential is further amplified by India’s strategic roadmap to replace its aging 205 GW coal fleet with clean energy solutions, primarily through the aggressive deployment of SMRs.

The sector has moved from a state monopoly to a collaborative ecosystem. With the 2025 reforms now allowing private and international players to hold up to 49% equity and the removal of supplier liability hurdles, India is gearing up for a major expansion. The focus is specifically on Bharat Small Reactors (BSRs) and advanced technologies designed for non-power applications like industrial desalination and captive power for heavy industries, creating a massive entry point for global technology and capital.
