India Plans 100 GW Nuclear Power Capacity by 2047 with New Reactors
India aims to expand its nuclear power capacity to 100 GW by 2047, with plans to build five new reactors in the next decade.

This expansion supports India's goals for energy security, reduced fossil fuel dependence, and reliable electricity to power industries, technology, and renewable energy integration. Challenges include scaling construction, securing investment, and integrating nuclear with renewables.
