Bengaluru Startup Pranos Unveils India's First Private Compact Fusion Reactor
Bengaluru-based deep-tech startup Pranos Fusion has developed Pragya, India's first privately built compact tokamak nuclear fusion reactor. Completed in about eight months, Pragya serves as an experimental platform to study and control plasma, essential for nuclear fusion. While not designed for commercial power generation, it will enable high-frequency experiments to advance fusion technology, including plasma control and superconducting magnets. This milestone marks a transition from theoretical research to experimental prototyping in India's private fusion sector.
