India's SHANTI Bill: Big changes coming to nuclear energy

India Dec 11, 2025

India is gearing up to shake up its nuclear energy sector with the new SHANTI Bill (Atomic Energy Bill 2025).
The plan: let private companies help out in areas like mineral exploration and making nuclear fuel, while the government keeps control of crucial stuff like heavy water.
The big goal? Hit 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047.

What else to know

The bill is almost ready and expected in Parliament's Winter Session.
Ministers say safety is a top priority as they update old laws from the '60s and 2010.
The SHANTI Bill also wants a special tribunal for nuclear disputes and promises closer work with global safety experts at the IAEA.
