India Advances Nuclear Power Expansion Under SHANTI Act with Draft Rules Under Review
India's SHANTI Act, 2025, replaces earlier nuclear laws to enable private and foreign participation in nuclear power while maintaining government control over strategic activities. Power companies like NTPC and Adani Power are identifying and studying potential sites for large-scale nuclear projects, with NTPC planning 30 GW capacity by 2047. Draft rules to operationalize the SHANTI Act are under discussion among ministries and industry stakeholders, with final notifications expected in the coming months to support India's goal of 100 GW nuclear capacity by 2047.
