India Advances Nuclear Energy Expansion with Shanti Act Favoring Certified Foreign Technologies
India aims to expand its nuclear power capacity to 100GW by 2047, supported by the Shanti Act, which opens the sector to private investment and addresses liability concerns. However, nuclear electricity tariffs may struggle to compete with cheaper renewables, potentially requiring fiscal support. The Act's draft rules mandate that imported nuclear technology be certified and operational abroad, favoring Russia's Rosatom due to its existing small modular reactor projects, while Western competitors face certification challenges.
