Show answer & explanation
Correct answer: B
Concept
A capacity target states the total installed generating capability planned for a future date; gigawatts (GW) measure power capacity, not annual energy generation.
For a current-affairs question tied to an official meeting, the declared figure should be checked against the government's contemporaneous meeting release and a second official policy record.
Application
The Ministry of Power's release on the BRICS Energy Ministers' Meeting in Brasília on 19 May 2025 states that India highlighted a nuclear-power capacity target of 100 GW by 2047.
Cross-check and contrast
The Press Information Bureau's 28 April 2025 roadmap release independently records the same 100 GW target for 2047.
The figures 75 GW, 150 GW, and 200 GW are not the target stated in these official releases.
Therefore, India's declared nuclear-power capacity target for 2047 is 100 GW.
