India plans to increase nuclear power production to 100 GW by 2047, according to the Atomic Energy Commission Chairman.

India aims to produce 1 lakh MW (100 GW) of nuclear power by 2047, a significant increase from the current 8,000 MW, according to Atomic Energy Commission Chairman A K Mohanty. A vision document for 'Amrit Kaal' is being prepared by the Department of Atomic Energy to envision a nuclear capacity of about 100 GW by 2047. The report 'Synchronising Energy Transitions Towards Possible Net Zero for India: Affordable and Clean Energy for All' emphasizes the importance of coal as the backbone of the Indian energy sector for the next two decades, and indicates that achieving net-zero emissions by 2070 will require substantial contributions from nuclear power and renewable energy sources.
