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.
