Among the given options, about 7000 MW is the closest figure to the installed capacity in 2022.
India has a phased program for developing nuclear power. The country operates a mix of Pressurized Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs) and has collaborations for Light Water Reactors (LWRs). The target is to increase nuclear power capacity substantially to meet future energy demands and reduce carbon emissions.
