  "account": "To meet its target of expanding nuclear power capacity to 100 gigawatts by 2047, India must review its green finance rules and strengthen its workforce, officials and industry executives have said. The country's sovereign green bond framework and financing rules need reevaluation as they currently do not encompass nuclear investments, stated Abhay Karandikar, member of the NITI Aayog. Last year, India opened its nuclear sector to private companies, aiming to attract foreign technology and investment. The nation anticipates approximately $210 billion in investment to increase capacity from the current 8.8 GW level. Global financial institutions, such as the World Bank, have initiated assessments to support nuclear project investments, Karandikar noted at PowerGen India's event in New Delhi. A key issue is the scarcity of specialized education and training, with executives pointing out the lack of nuclear courses in Indian schools and universities, save for a few top institutes. Kalirajan S, managing director of EDF Nuclear Projects India Pvt, emphasized this point, mentioning that EDF has been providing certification programs to Indian vendors and plans to extend them further to foster a local nuclear supply chain. The NITI Aayog has established a committee to assess how India can expand nuclear expertise across various levels, from technicians to research and development, Karandikar added.",
