India's Nuclear Energy Mission aims to design, develop, and deploy at least five indigenous small modular reactors (SMRs) with a goal of reaching 100 GWe nuclear capacity by 2047, backed by a ₹20,000 crore budget and enabling legislation for private sector participation.

◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway

India’s nuclear sector now welcomes private companies to build local SMRs under new laws and funding. You can tap this emerging market as governments fast-track approvals and allocate capital for clean nuclear power.
