Adani Group said it could become India’s biggest private nuclear developer by aiming for 10 gigawatts of capacity by 2035, after the government opened the civil nuclear sector to private investment. The target, if realized, would shift a sizable share of India’s future electricity mix toward nuclear, reducing reliance on coal and imported gas. The announcement highlights both the opportunities and the regulatory hurdles that large‑scale nuclear projects face in a fast‑growing emerging market.
