India's SHANTI Bill: Transforming Nuclear Energy Sector with Private Participation and 100GW Vision by 2047
Dec 12, 2025 11:16 pm CST
The groundbreaking SHANTI Bill (Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India) represents India's most significant nuclear energy reform in 60 years. Approved by Prime Minister Modi's cabinet, the legislation ends the government monopoly, enables private sector participation, and establishes a framework to achieve 100GW nuclear capacity by 2047. This strategic initiative aims to strengthen energy security, support climate goals, and create economic opportunities while modernizing the regulatory environment for safe, reliable nuclear power expansion.
India's Nuclear Future: How Small Modular Reactors Could Transform Energy Production
Dec 03, 2025 03:15 pm CST
India is embracing Small Modular Reactors (SMRs) as part of its ambitious nuclear energy expansion. These compact, factory-built nuclear reactors offer flexibility, enhanced safety, and sustainability for remote areas and industrial clusters. With a Rs 20,000 crore Nuclear Energy Mission and plans for five indigenously developed SMRs by 2033, India is positioning itself at the forefront of nuclear innovation while pursuing its 100 gigawatt nuclear capacity goal and net-zero emissions by 2070.
