The Indian government is pushing for sweeping reforms to nuclear energy laws, aiming to attract private and foreign investors while planning to replace dying coal plants with nuclear reactors. The target? A staggering 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047. This dangerous “solution” swaps one crisis for another: while coal wrecks the climate, nuclear plants threaten communities with radiation risks, waste disasters, and long build times that delay real solutions. By bending laws to suit corporations and foreign capital, the government once again puts profit above people. Instead of investing massively in safe, decentralized renewable energy, India is being locked into another high-cost, high-risk trap—all in the name of “low carbon growth.”
