India to Build 100,000 MWe In Next 25 Years

From The Hindu:

The Planning Commission has accepted recommendations to raise the nuclear energy capacity from 3,000 MWs to 100,000 MWs in 25 years amid mounting expectations of the US Congress endorsing the Indo-US nuke deal by the end of this month.

The recommendation is one of the 17 given to the Planning Commission for its perusal and acceptance, which came through after a recent conclave on India's Energy Security.
