New bill to open nuclear power to private sector, remove supplier liability
The Union government introduced the much-anticipated bill on Monday to open up nuclear power generation to private players, while excluding global suppliers of components and fuel from liability.
The ‘Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Bill, 2025’ (SHANTI) permits any company or joint venture to construct, own, operate, or decommission a nuclear power plant or reactor within the country.
