India's nuclear roadmap in one chart
How India's nuclear capacity is expected to grow to 22,480 MWe by 2031 — from PHWRs to SMRs.
IndiaRoadmapCapacity
Where capacity is headed
- Operational reactors already contribute 8,180 MWe across 23 units.
- 13 more units are under construction, adding roughly 8,700 MWe.
- Small modular reactors add a flexible, factory-built track beyond large PHWRs.
What it means for talent
- Commissioning, QA/QC and I&C roles grow fastest in the next decade.
- SMR programmes create demand for modular manufacturing and site integration skills.
- Radiation protection and safety-case professionals remain the hardest to hire.
