India’s nuclear energy sector is entering a new phase of growth. With the SHANTI Act creating new opportunities, industry participation is expected to expand significantly. At the same time, ambitious capacity targets are being announced and investor interest is growing. Therefore, the need for a clear and practical roadmap has never been greater.
To address this need, the India Nuclear Forum (INF) has released the INEF 2026 Policy Recommendations Report, titled “Building India With Nuclear Power: Industry Perceptions, Concerns, Expectations & Policy Recommendations.”
The report is based on discussions held during the India Nuclear Energy Forum (INEF) 2026 at IIT Bombay. During the event, more than 350 participants from over 180 organizations across India and around the world shared their perspectives. As a result, the report reflects one of the most comprehensive consultations ever conducted for India’s nuclear industry.
Importantly, this is not a conventional event report. Instead, it focuses on practical recommendations that can help accelerate the growth of India’s nuclear power programme.
The report examines several critical areas, including:
- Policy and regulatory reforms
- Financing and investment mechanisms
- Supply chain development and localization
- Manufacturing capabilities
- Workforce and skills development
- Advanced reactor technologies
- Fuel security and waste management
- Public awareness and stakeholder engagement
- Greater private sector participation
In addition, the report highlights the challenges, expectations and opportunities identified by stakeholders across the nuclear value chain. It also outlines the actions needed to help India achieve its goal of 100 GWe of nuclear power capacity by 2047.
Whether you are a utility, EPC contractor, manufacturer, technology developer, investor, researcher, startup or policymaker, this report offers valuable insights into the future of India’s nuclear sector. Furthermore, it provides a clearer understanding of the policy, business and technology priorities that will shape the industry’s growth in the coming decades.
Overall, the INEF 2026 Report serves as a practical reference for anyone interested in India’s nuclear energy journey. The report is now available for download from the India Nuclear Forum website. By exploring its recommendations and insights, stakeholders can better understand the opportunities and actions required to support India’s nuclear growth story.
