India Nuclear Energy Forum 2026 is scheduled on 29–30 May 2026, to be held at IIT Bombay. The event will have the following themes, around which there will be keynote lectures, panel discussions, poster displays, and an exhibition.
The event aims to explore collaborative business opportunities for domestic Indian and international nuclear energy related businesses — to explore the Indian nuclear energy business and become a part of India’s nuclear power growth story. The event also explores human capacity development, collaborative R&D, and industry–academia interactions.
Themes and sessions
Guidance for New Nuclear Operators
This session covers the legal, regulatory and compliance mechanisms to start nuclear power plants in India post SHANTI Bill. Prospective private and public nuclear operators will be guided by government and regulatory authorities on licensing and compliance requirements, and on how to start nuclear power plants. Officials from the Ministry of Power, Department of Atomic Energy, Atomic Energy Regulatory Board, and other government departments have been invited to the event. Participants from new prospective nuclear power plant operators from the private and public sectors will be the beneficiaries of this session.
Guidance for the Nuclear Supply Chain
Guidance on quality requirements and business opportunities in the Indian nuclear business for manufacturers (including MSMEs), EPC contractors, system integrators, system / equipment / component suppliers, consultants and service providers to nuclear power plants — covering upcoming business opportunities in nuclear power plants, quality assurance requirements, and the safety requirements to become a part of the nuclear supply chain. In this session, entities from the department of nuclear energy, NPCIL, ITER, and other prospective nuclear operators will describe their procurement requirements and policies. The entire supply chain of the nuclear power ecosystem will get practical business insights.
Nuclear Technologies
This session will cover advanced nuclear technologies, including large nuclear power reactors, Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), Micro Modular Reactors (MMRs), and the nuclear fuel cycle. Leading Indian and global reactor technology providers, nuclear fuel cycle organisations, and technology developers will showcase their solutions, innovations, and deployment strategies.
Human Capital Development
Developing academic programmes, skill development programmes and training initiatives for nuclear energy growth. In this session, academic institutions and training and skill development organisations will deliberate on methods to develop academic programmes to produce the engineers and skilled technicians needed for nuclear energy growth.
Collaborative R&D and Innovation in Nuclear Energy
Creating a collaborative R&D framework for innovation, R&D and the promotion of start-ups in nuclear energy, and industry–academia collaboration for R&D.
