Nine per cent share of electricity is likely to be contributed from India’s nuclear sources by the year 2047 when India celebrates 100 years of independence, according to Dr Jitendra Singh, the Minister of State for Prime Minister’s Office.
According to him, this would help in getting closer to the commitment of achieving the net zero target by 2070.
Dr Singh made these remarks after holding a review meeting with a group of senior scientists from the Department of Atomic Energy (DAE) and Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) in Mumbai.
