Under the Nuclear Energy Mission for Viksit Bharat, India has outlined an ambition to reach 100GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, a scale-up that will require sustained investment across engineering, technology, manufacturing, construction and supporting infrastructure for decades to come.

A central pillar of that ambition is the commitment of approximately US$2.3 billion (₹20,000 crore) to support Small Modular Reactor (SMR) development, a technology expected to accelerate deployment timelines and open the sector to a wider base of manufacturers, engineering firms and technology providers than large-scale conventional plants alone.

Taken together, these initiatives are creating new opportunities across the full nuclear value chain, from reactor components and plant digitalisation to EPC delivery and long-term operations and maintenance, as India works to secure reliable, low-carbon baseload power alongside its renewable energy build-out.
