The share of nuclear power in the country’s energy basket is proposed to be increased by augmenting the installed nuclear power capacity.
A large nuclear power expansion programme of 13,600 MW is under implementation which is expected to increase the nuclear power capacity to 22,480 MW by 2031-32. Further, the Government has announced an ambitious Nuclear Energy mission with a target of reaching a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047.
The details are given in the annexure.
