India will reduce nuclear reactor exclusion zones to cut land requirements by up to 66% for new power projects. The move supports a target to expand nuclear capacity from 8 gigawatts to 100 gigawatts by 2047. Shrinking these buffers removes a primary land-acquisition hurdle for private investors entering the newly liberalized energy sector.
