India's SHANTI Bill: Nuclear energy gets a major upgrade
India's government just cleared the SHANTI Bill, which opens up nuclear power to private companies and foreign investors (up to 49%).
The bill aims to update old nuclear laws and bring in new tech, making it easier for non-government players to join the game.
Why should you care?
This is a big step toward cleaner energy and more jobs.
The plan is to increase India's nuclear power to 22 GW by 2032 (from about 8.8 GW today) and hit 100 GWe by 2047—all while working toward net-zero emissions by 2070.
The bill also promises stronger safety rules with an independent regulator, plus fresh opportunities for startups and private firms in everything from mining uranium to building reactors.
If you're interested in tech, climate action, or new career paths, this could be one to watch.
