India to Allow Private Sector in Nuclear Power

India to Allow Private Sector in Nuclear Power

India is planning to allow private companies to be part of its nuclear power sector.

This is a big change because currently, only government companies can build and run nuclear power plants.

The government wants to use more nuclear energy because it's clean and can help reduce pollution.

They have set a big goal to have 100 times more nuclear power by 2047.

To do this, they need a lot of money and new technology.

Some Indian companies are already talking to foreign companies to get the technology they need.

This change in the law will help India use more of its own resources, like thorium, and become more self-sufficient in energy.
