1/ "The identification of 49 brownfield thermal sites for Small Modular Reactor (SMR) in the NFPRC'S report is the kind of targeted research that accelerates deployment " - Dr. Jitendra Singh Ji, MoS, Department of Atomic Energy. These sites already have the grid, the water and the workforce. NFPRC's report, "Powering the Next Billion" identifies 11.2 GW of retiring coal capacity as India's fastest route to SMR deployment. No greenfield delays. No land acquisition battles. Just transition. 🧵Explainer below

Thesis: consumer protection laws in India are pretty good. In fact if you go by the text of the Consumer Protection Act, businesses (especially smaller ones) face more litigation risk than they should in many instances

NFPRC Foundation convened a high-impact workshop for Members of Parliament and State Legislators, titled “Transforming Rural India for Viksit Bharat@2047: Convergence, Governance, and Rural Prosperity.” on 27.04.2026 at India Habitat Centre.

Agarwal (@B_K_AGARWAL, Retd. IAS).

A significant moment of the workshop was the formal unveiling of NFPRC Foundation’s flagship report, “Powering the Next Billion: A Regulatory and Investment Roadmap for SMR Deployment in India,” by Dr. Jitendra Singh(@DrJitendraSingh) marking an important step in shaping India’s clean energy and nuclear policy discourse.

The workshop reflects NFPRC’s continued commitment to enabling informed policymaking and fostering collaborative pathways towards a more prosperous and future-ready India.

Small Modular Reactors open up an important pathway to scale up energy production, but policy incentives have to align, especially in the beginning for SMRs to be economically viable. Article by Kriti Mutreja and Yash Khandelwal from @caig_nfprc: financialexpress.com/opinion/viksit…

Technological solutions to land titles and other issues may seem alluring, but fundamental issues relating to systems have to be kept in mind. Good article by Katyayani Rana - working with the land reforms team of @NFPRC_Ind swarajyamag.com/politics/why-i…

@AalokDThakkar I’ve been able to resolve the issue now I believe. Thanks!

@Ananth_KrishnaS Not sure why. Please DM on X (Twitter).

Using Lean 4 to identify contradictions in laws. Very exciting work by Pramaana Labs pramaanalabs.ai. They have build a DSL called LegalLean to formalise US tax codes.

@AalokDThakkar Hey @AalokDThakkar seems the email is bouncing, not able to ping you.

@AalokDThakkar Thanks! Will do

A good explainer on what are the contentions in the Sabarimala case by @VasundhraAravit and Kartikeya Sharma. Do read to know what the Supreme Court would be deciding in what will be its seminal decision on religious liberty: thehindu.com/news/national/…

@Shreyas_Mysuru @freetimethinker @oru_pavam_nair Post-election seems like UDF edge/winning clearly (TO numbers wise)

@NFPRC_Ind is glad to support the DSE Policy Conclave as institutional partner. @DelhiSchoolOfEC

Quite a good speech! Also gained some insight into an interesting question in common law countries (but is quite moot in India): whether or not the jury trial system is sensible.

The Supreme Court is set to hear a couple of important challenges in the coming few months. A good summary from @NFPRC_LR: open.substack.com/pub/nationfirs…
