<h1>India Targets 100 GW Nuclear Power by 2047; Legislative Changes and SMR R&D Mission Proposed for Private Sector Involvement</h1> The goal to generate 100 GW of nuclear power in India by 2047 is considered ambitious yet achievable, according to a Union minister. The Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) and its subsidiaries aim to fulfill nearly half of this target. The minister emphasized the importance of nuclear energy in meeting India's increasing electricity demands, which are expected to rise significantly by 2047. Legislative changes to involve the private sector in nuclear projects are proposed, alongside a Small Modular Reactor (SMR) R&D Mission. A public outreach program is also planned to address concerns about nuclear energy.
