  • India and France have added a new dimension to their partnership in the area of civil nuclear energy by declaration of intent on establishment of partnership on advanced modular reactors and small modular reactors.

India and France have signed a significant agreement to collaborate on the development of advanced modular nuclear reactors, aiming to enhance energy security and reduce carbon emissions. This deal was formalized during French President Emmanuel Macron's visit to India, where both nations expressed their commitment to advancing nuclear technology. The agreement includes cooperation in the design, construction, and operation of these reactors, which are noted for their smaller size, lower cost, and enhanced safety features compared to traditional nuclear reactors. This partnership not only strengthens the strategic ties between India and France but also supports India's goal to increase its nuclear power capacity as part of its broader strategy to combat climate change and meet its growing energy demands.
