India and US Explore Collaboration to Expand Nuclear Energy Capacity to 100 GW by 2047

India aims to expand its nuclear power capacity from 8.8 GW to 100 GW by 2047, supported by the recently enacted SHANTI Act, 2025, which allows up to 49% private and foreign equity participation. A US nuclear industry delegation, including representatives from the Nuclear Energy Institute and US-India Strategic Partnership Forum, met with Indian ministers to discuss collaboration opportunities in advanced reactor technologies, micro-reactors, AI-enabled safety systems, and investment frameworks. New regulations defining operator liability and financial coverage are expected by July to facilitate this expansion and enhance India-US cooperation in clean energy.
