India aims for 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, driven by indigenous Bharat Small Modular Reactors (BSMRs) deployed in decentralized industrial settings. The draft SHANTI Rules stress regulatory oversight, waste management, and a major expansion in skilled personnel and Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) capacity to handle numerous dispersed small reactors.
This Wire brief sits within Fusion42's coverage of Clean Energy.
◆ ◆ The Wire takeaway
Your industrial energy offering must now factor in India’s rise of many small nuclear plants under strict state oversight, which demands designing compliant, distributed solutions and planning for regulatory scrutiny. Skipping early partnership with government regulators will leave you sidelined as India builds personnel and tech to monitor this sprawling sector.
