Economy

“India’s push to expand nuclear energy capacity is both an economic and environmental imperative.”
Examine the recent reforms undertaken in India’s nuclear power sector and critically analyze the challenges in achieving its long-term targets.

Tips for your answer

  • Structure = Reform → Challenge → Link to Goal
  • Start with 2–3 key reforms (SHANTI Act, SMRs, PFBR), then balance with core challenges (land, finance, regulation), and end by linking to 100 GW target + net-zero.
  • Use Keywords, Not Narration
  • Drop value-loaded terms like “civil liability resolved,” “fleet-mode PHWR,” “baseload advantage,” “capital intensity,” “FOAK risks” — this boosts evaluator perception instantly.
  • Add One Forward-Looking Line
  • Conclude with a solution-oriented tone (e.g., green finance + nuclear parks + talent pipeline) to show analytical maturity, not just description.
