Anubal Fusion
🇮🇳 Gurugram, IN · Founded 2024 · Active
Anubal Fusion is an Indian startup founded in 2024 and based in Gurugram, Haryana. It is pursuing inertial-confinement fusion of protons with boron-11, in which ultra-intense petawatt lasers drive the reaction, an approach the company describes as aneutronic and free of radioactive waste. Fusion Energy Base reports that it is partnering with the Tata Institute of Fundamental Research, which is installing a petawatt-class laser for the company's planned experiments. Its website describes the concept and reports no experimental results.

Terms
- Inertial confinement
- Compressing fuel so fast that its own inertia holds it together long enough to burn: nanoseconds, not seconds. Every ICF approach shares the same open problem beyond ignition itself: repeating a shot several times a second at low enough cost per shot to run a power plant, which no driver has yet demonstrated.
- Proton–boron-11
- Called aneutronic because the main reaction releases no neutrons, though side reactions and impurities still produce some. Requires at least an order of magnitude more triple product than D-T. A p-¹¹B roadmap that skips D-T is a listed red flag.
