Two decades minimum for starting a prototype like we did with PFBR. We anyway are yet to conclude second stage since we will have to create full scale FBRs after seeing performance of PFBR. Nuclear reactors anyways are very very long term projects FYI. Production is too critical here.

Two decades or more considering R&D, and long construction cycle time.

India Enters Stage Two Of Its Nuclear Programme; The Three Stages, Explained India reaches a milestone in nuclear energy with the initiation of core loading at its first homegrown fast breeder reactor. PM Modi on Monday witnessed the commencement of "core loading" of India's first and indigenous...
