India plans to open its nuclear sector to private investment, with Prime Minister Narendra Modi aiming to make the country a developed nation by 2047. As part of this goal, Modi has set a target of 100 gigawatts of operational nuclear power, nearly a tenfold increase from the current 8.8 GW. The Department of Atomic Energy has released a regulation for public consultation, allowing private companies to build and operate nuclear plants, previously a state monopoly.
The move is part of the "Shanti" program, which was passed by Parliament in December, and aims to enhance India's energy security. Modi also announced plans to commission five new reactors this decade.
