Presently nuclear power contributes about 3% to the total electricity generated in the\u00a0 country. In the year 2024-25, nuclear power plants generated 56681 Million Units (MUs)\u00a0 of electricity.<\/p>\n
The Government is making efforts to increase the nuclear fuel sources both by\u00a0 augmenting domestic production and imports from diverse sources. The Government has\u00a0 announced an ambitious Nuclear Energy mission with a target of reaching a nuclear power capacity of 100 GW by 2047. In this regard, the Government has initiated the processes\u00a0 required for enabling large scale participation across the public and private sectors in\u00a0 nuclear power. The Government has also announced measures for enabling R&D in SMRs\u00a0 and new advanced technologies. The target is planned to be achieved by deploying reactors\u00a0based on existing and new advanced technologies under development. Presently, the\u00a0 installed nuclear power capacity in the country\u00a0comprises 24\u00a0reactors with a total\u00a0 capacity of 8780 MW (excluding RAPS-1 (100 MW) under extended shutdown). In\u00a0 addition, a total capacity of 13600 MW (including 500 MW PFBR being implemented by\u00a0 BHAVINI) is under different stages of implementation. On its progressive completion, the\u00a0 installed nuclear power capacity is expected to reach 22380 MW by the year 2031-32.<\/p>\n
