India Targets 100 GW Nuclear Power and New Semiconductor Plants

Prime Minister Narendra Modi highlighted India’s push for self‑reliance in critical technology sectors. The government has already commissioned three large semiconductor fabrication units and plans to add five to eight more plants over the next seven to eight years, positioning the country as a major chip exporter. In the nuclear arena, the Parliament’s recent ‘Peace Act’ paves the way for achieving 100 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2047. Five additional reactors are slated to commence construction this decade, and India has mastered fast‑breeder technology, marking a significant step toward fuel independence.
