India Plans 40-50 Small Modular Nuclear Reactors: Tata Consulting CEO

26 Aug 2024 CW Team

Amit Sharma, CEO of Tata Consulting Engineers, has revealed plans for India to deploy between 40 and 50 small modular nuclear reactors (SMRs) as part of the country's strategy to enhance energy security and sustainability. Sharma highlighted that these compact reactors are designed to be safer and more cost-effective compared to traditional large-scale nuclear plants.

The introduction of SMRs is seen as a significant step towards diversifying India's energy mix and reducing its reliance on fossil fuels. These reactors offer several advantages, including lower capital costs, shorter construction times, and the ability to be deployed in a variety of locations, including remote areas.

Sharma emphasised that the deployment of SMRs aligns with India's commitment to achieving its climate goals and ensuring a stable and reliable energy supply. The technology promises to support the country's growing energy needs while minimising environmental impact.

The initiative is also expected to stimulate innovation in the nuclear sector and create new opportunities for domestic manufacturing and job creation. By integrating SMRs into the energy portfolio, India aims to strengthen its position as a leader in nuclear technology and contribute to global efforts in clean energy.
