India's Nuclear Capacity Hits 8,780 MW, Generation Triples Since 2008

The India-US nuclear deal enabled fuel imports and new reactors, with 16 reactors (6,380 MW) now under IAEA safeguards and fueled by imports.
Nuclear power generation tripled from 16,956 MU in 2007-08 to 56,681 MU in 2024-25, while capacity more than doubled to 8,780 MW.
Liability concerns under the CLND Act delayed projects, but the SHANTI Act aligns liability with international norms, aiding projects with France and the USA.
