Rosatom State Corporation, through its subsidiary JSC Engineering and Technology Center “GET” (ETC GET), announced a pilot training program for nuclear industry specialists in India, developed in strategic partnership with the Indian Institute of Technology Bombay (IIT Bombay) and ProSIM R&D Pvt Ltd.
The first trial training session will be held from April 15 to 17, 2026, at the IIT Bombay campus. The program will focus on training using simulators and digital twin technologies for nuclear power plants, supporting practical learning and operational understanding.

The initiative is aimed at addressing the growing demand for skilled professionals in India’s nuclear energy sector. India’s nuclear energy roadmap envisages significant expansion in installed capacity by 2047, which is expected to require thousands of trained specialists annually. Current training capacity, however, delivers only a limited number of qualified professionals each year, highlighting a critical gap in workforce availability.
The program brings together complementary expertise across industry and academia. ETC GET brings experience in simulator and digital twin technologies for nuclear power plants, ProSIM contributes capabilities in physics-based modelling and safety analysis, while IIT Bombay brings academic expertise across nuclear science and engineering disciplines.
“This pilot training at IIT Bombay is more than an educational initiative. It reflects Rosatom’s commitment to supporting the development of India’s nuclear workforce. Alongside advanced technologies, building the capability to operate nuclear infrastructure safely and efficiently will be essential for the sector’s long-term growth,” ETC GET representative noted.
