India's Nuclear Power Capacity to Triple by 2031-32

12 Feb 2024 CW Team

Union Minister of State (Independent Charge) for Science and Technology has announced India's ambitious plan to significantly expand its nuclear power capacity. The government aims to triple the installed nuclear power capacity from 7480 MW to 22800 MW by the fiscal year 2031-32.

This initiative reflects India's commitment to diversifying its energy mix and meeting the growing demand for electricity in a sustainable manner. Nuclear power is recognized for its reliability and low carbon emissions, making it an important component of India's energy transition strategy.

The substantial increase in nuclear power capacity is expected to play a crucial role in ensuring energy security and mitigating the impact of climate change. By expanding nuclear power generation, India aims to reduce its dependence on fossil fuels and contribute to global efforts to combat climate change.

To achieve this ambitious target, the government plans to focus on both indigenous development and collaboration with international partners for technology transfer and capacity building. This approach will not only stimulate economic growth but also strengthen India's position as a leader in nuclear technology and innovation.

Furthermore, the expansion of nuclear power capacity is expected to create employment opportunities, stimulate industrial growth, and foster innovation in the nuclear energy sector. It represents a significant step towards achieving India's energy security and sustainability goals in the coming decades.
