Bengaluru Startup Moves Closer to Building Fusion Reactor
What Happened
Bengaluru-based Pranos Fusion has successfully generated plasma in PRAGYA, India’s first privately developed tokamak, marking a key milestone in nuclear fusion research. The startup says the next phase is developing larger and more advanced fusion systems that could eventually lead to a commercial fusion reactor.
Key Takeaways
The achievement strengthens India’s presence in the global race for fusion energy, a technology often described as the “holy grail” of clean power because it promises abundant, low-carbon electricity if commercial reactors can be successfully developed.
