India's ambitious nuclear energy expansion is gaining momentum, underpinned by the newly enacted SHANTI Act 2025 which facilitates public-private partnerships to reach a target of 100 GW capacity by 2047. Driven by the Department of Atomic Energy and institutions like the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre, the nation is progressing across all stages of its Three-Stage Nuclear Power Programme, including the recent achievement of first criticality for the Prototype Fast Breeder Reactor and demonstration of clean hydrogen production via nuclear heat. This strategic focus on indigenous thorium-based technologies and the development of Small Modular Reactors signals a long-term commitment to energy security and positions India as a significant player in the global nuclear landscape, potentially attracting investment and fostering technological advancements.
