India Advances Nuclear Power Expansion with Bharat Small Reactor and Rosatom Partnership
India is advancing its nuclear power capacity with initiatives like the Bharat Small Reactor programme and a proposed partnership between NTPC and Russia's Rosatom. The Bharat Small Reactor programme aims to use proven 220 MW reactor technology for industrial captive power, while NTPC seeks to develop six 1,000 MW reactors under a 2014 India-Russia agreement, targeting 30 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. Experts emphasize the need for domestic supply chains, private sector involvement, and efficient project execution to meet these goals.
