Pranos Fusion

Pranos Fusion is the first private tokamak developer in India. The company is vertically integrating HTS magnet manufacturing, advanced plasma control software and the device itself — explicitly targeting a sovereign Indian fusion stack so no single import becomes a bottleneck.

India needs its own end-to-end fusion supply chain; build the magnets, the controls and the machine together so none of them become an import bottleneck.

Global electricity demand is entering an unprecedented growth phase driven by AI infrastructure, data centers, transport electrification, industrial decarbonization, water desalination, and advanced manufacturing. Solar suffers intermittency, wind capacity-factor variability, natural gas carbon emissions, conventional nuclear cost and deployment speed, and batteries energy-density and duration limits. The world requires a new source of clean, dispatchable baseload energy. Fusion represents the ultimate energy source — the challenge is making it commercially practical.

A compact low-aspect-ratio tokamak combined with domestic HTS magnet manufacturing and an Indian plasma-control software team. The architecture follows the CFS/Energy Singularity high-field compact playbook adapted to the Indian industrial base.

Deuterium-tritium fusion releases ~80% of its energy as 14.1 MeV neutrons, which deposit their kinetic energy in a surrounding blanket. The heat drives a conventional steam (Rankine) or supercritical-CO₂ (Brayton) turbine.

The most thoroughly understood fusion fuel cycle, highest cross-section at achievable temperatures, and proven back-end engineering (steam turbines are 19th-century technology). Trade-offs: neutron-induced materials damage, tritium handling, ~33–40% Carnot-limited efficiency.

A vertically integrated Indian fusion stack benefits from a low-cost engineering base and avoids the import-licensing risk that has historically slowed Indian nuclear projects.

India as a sovereign fusion power producer.
