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 as they seek to achieve net zero by 2070. The present installed nuclear power capacity is set to increase from 8,180 MW to 22,480 MW by 2031 on progressive completion of projects under construction and accorded sanction.
Insights From Indian Nuclear Stakeholders
India offers business opportunities across the entire spectrum of plant lifecycle of NPPs
As India is growing, so is its energy demand with increased thrust on clean energy transition, sustainability and reliability. Clean energy demand will further go up as decarbonization drive picks up for transportation/e-mobility, Clean H2 generation and application industries, commercial sector, industrial heating and district cooling systems. Nuclear power is well poised to cater to the clean and reliable energy requirement of the country and hence is on top of the agenda of the government.
With 8.18 GWe installed nuclear capacity, 7.3 GWe under construction projects and further 8 GWe under pre-project activities, India offers business opportunities across the entire spectrum of plant lifecycle of NPPs. A business potential of USD 125 Billion has been estimated for the projects in pipeline. In addition, India too has a fleet of over 205 GWe coal based power units, which would be progressively replaced by clean energy means such as Small Modular Reactors (SMRs).
Moreover, with nuclear assessed to play a major role in applications such as clean hydrogen generation, industrial heating, district cooling, desalination etc, India is gearing up for a major expansion in nuclear sector through development and adoption SMRs and other advanced reactor technologies.
