Mishra, Principal Secretary to the Prime Minister, addressed the opening session of an international conference on sustainable energy transitions hosted by IRADe. He characterised the recent legislative reforms as a "historic" shift that ends decades of state monopoly in the nuclear field. "India has undertaken a historic reform by opening nuclear energy to private participation through recent legislative initiatives. This is expected to scale nuclear capacity significantly by 2047 and provide firm, zero-carbon baseload power," Mishra said. Mishra concluded by stressing that for energy transitions to remain sustainable, they must provide "tangible welfare gains" and remain central to the nation's competitive and social inclusion strategies.
