India Is Building 100 GWe of Nuclear Capacity. The Fuel Question Has Not Been Answered

India has a 100 GWe nuclear target by 2047. It has the SHANTI Act opening the sector to private capital. It has Rs 20,000 crore committed to SMR deployment by 2033. The political intent is the clearest it has been in a generation. But achieving 100 GWe requires an estimated 18,000 to 20,000 tonnes of uranium annually — roughly one-third of current global production. India's domestic reserves cannot supply that.
