India just gave its nuclear energy sector a major upgrade with the SHANTI Bill

Business Dec 22, 2025

India has rolled out the SHANTI Bill, 2025, to modernize how the country handles nuclear energy.
The new law clears up old rules, makes it easier for investors to get on board, and helps India stick to its clean energy promises from COP26.
The big idea: keep nuclear power as a key part of India's future energy mix.

What's new with SHANTI?

SHANTI pulls together several older laws into one clear set of rules, which should cut down on confusion and delays for new projects.
It also strengthens the independence of nuclear regulation—so decisions are more transparent and trustworthy.
Plus, by making liability rules fairer, it's now easier for both private companies and global partners to team up with India on next-gen nuclear tech.
