Power minister Manohar Lal Khattar and minister of State for atomic energy Jitendra Singh on Friday jointly held a high-level meeting to discuss the 100 GW Nuclear Energy Mission.

This meeting follows up on India’s target of expanding the country’s clean energy mix.

During the meeting, the roadmap to increase India’s nuclear energy capacity from the current 8.8 GW to 22 GW by 2032 was reviewed.

Minister Singh said a strong and vibrant response came from industries towards the Bharat Small Modular Reactor (SMR) program, leading to an extension of Nuclear Power Corporation of India’s request for proposal submission deadline to September 30, 2025 to encourage wider participation.

Singh further emphasised the government’s commitment to handholding and creating awareness among private sector players.

The power minister reiterated the importance of adhering to timelines and accelerating projects as per the established roadmap.
