<h1>India Opens Civil Nuclear Sector to Private Firms, Aiming for 100 GW by 2047, Supports Net Zero 2070 Goal.</h1> India's decision to open the civil nuclear sector to private players is seen as a transformative move aimed at making nuclear power a primary energy source. This initiative, announced in the Union Budget, aligns with India's goal to achieve Net Zero emissions by 2070. Amendments to relevant acts will facilitate private sector involvement, targeting 100 GW of nuclear energy by 2047. A Nuclear Energy Mission will develop small nuclear reactors by 2033, promoting self-reliance and clean energy. The initiative follows a similar opening of the space sector, which led to significant growth and foreign investment.
