India’s civil nuclear sector has waited decades for a moment like this one. The SHANTI Act, passed last year, ended a state monopoly that had kept private and foreign capital out of nuclear power since 1962. Government officials framed it as India’s most consequential energy reform in a generation, built around a headline ambition: raising nuclear capacity from 8.78 GW today to 100 GW by 2047, a nearly tenfold jump that industry estimates will require around US$210 billion in investment...
