Abstract | India, the third-largest carbon emitter in the world, must simultaneously meet its targets for net-zero carbon emissions by 2070 and ensure energy security. India has increasingly looked to nuclear energy as a dependable, low-carbon alternative after realising the limitations of renewable energy in supplying base-load power requirements. The development and importance of Indo-French nuclear cooperation in augmenting India's nuclear power capability and bolstering its clean energy transition are examined in this article. From early research agreements to more recent strategic alliances like the Jaitapur Nuclear Power Plant and partnerships on Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) and Advanced Modular Reactors (AMRs), it charts the development of bilateral nuclear relations over time. The analysis emphasises how these collaborative initiatives lessen reliance on fossil fuels, diversify India's energy mix, and improve its energy security. The partnership's geopolitical significance in rebalancing regional power relations and bolstering India's strategic autonomy is also covered in the study. Notwithstanding popular opposition and infrastructure obstacles, Indo-French nuclear cooperation offers a viable method to increase India's capacity for clean energy, greatly advancing its climate and sustainable development objectives. According to the study's findings, nuclear power can be extremely important to India's search for dependable, scalable, and low-carbon energy sources if it is supported by international cooperation. |
