The Department of Atomic Energy in India announced a nuclear energy mission in the budget-2025, aiming to deploy 100 GWe of nuclear energy by 2047 to achieve NetZero by 2070. The mission focuses on providing a reliable alternative to fossil fuel energy sources, replacing retiring thermal power-plants, establishing captive plants for energy-intensive industries, and supplying energy to remote locations to decarbonize the energy sector. DAE is working on designing and developing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) including Bharat SMR, SMR, and a gas-cooled high-temperature reactor for hydrogen production. A fund of INR 20,000 Crore has been allocated for deploying five SMRs by 2033 and supporting the development of SMRs. A policy directive has been set to partner with the private sector, with NPCIL inviting private industries to finance and build small-sized NPPs as captive plants for electricity production. To facilitate private sector involvement, task forces have been established to address amendments required in the Atomic Energy Act and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act. These task forces are focusing on aspects like private sector operation of NPPs, nuclear safety, security, fuel procurement, waste management, and spent fuel reprocessing. The government is committed to enhancing the role of nuclear energy in achieving sustainability goals.
