The government has introduced the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Bill, 2025, in Parliament.
The SHANTI Bill seeks to replace the Atomic Energy Act, 1962, and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010, opening the door for private sector participation in India’s nuclear power sector. It aims to support India’s target of achieving 100 GW of nuclear power capacity by 2047 and emphasizes the expansion of stable, reliable, and clean energy through nuclear deployment. The Bill facilitates collaboration between public and private entities in harnessing nuclear energy and utilizing indigenous resources.
A notable amendment in the Bill is the removal of the ‘right of recourse’ provision, which previously allowed nuclear operators to claim compensation from suppliers in the event of accidents caused by defective equipment or substandard services. According to the Bill, the new legal framework is intended to promote research, innovation, and private sector investment in the nuclear energy space.
