India Plans Five Indigenous Small Modular Reactors by 2033 Under Nuclear Energy Mission
India plans to develop and operationalise at least five indigenous small modular reactors (SMRs) by 2033 as part of its Nuclear Energy Mission targeting 100 GWe nuclear capacity by 2047. The Department of Atomic Energy is collaborating with domestic industries and startups to develop critical reactor components, encouraging private sector participation in manufacturing and supply chains. SMRs aim to replace retiring fossil-fuel plants, support energy-intensive industries, and provide power to remote locations, complementing large reactors deployed at greenfield sites.
