Private companies could generate up to 30 GW toward India's 2047 nuclear capacity target

The Economic Times reports that Atomic Energy Commission chairman A K Mohanty said private companies could generate up to 30 GW toward India's target of 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047. He estimated that opening the sector to private players would bring ₹7.5 lakh crore in investment. Mohanty also said India's thorium reserves could help advance later stages of its nuclear program.
