Nuclear power: Build a small modular reactor policy

India's 24 nuclear power plants (NPPs) account for 8,080 MWe, which is 2.76 % of India's energy-generation mix. India aims to increase it from 8,180 MW to 22,480 MW by 2031. After India's long historical isolation from international nuclear trade until 2008, the ambition was to scale up and opt for larger-size NPPs.
