India Drafts Rules for Private Nuclear Power Licences under SHANTI Act
The Indian government is drafting rules under the SHANTI Act to regulate private sector participation in nuclear power. No private licences have been granted yet, with applications to be considered only after rule notification. The Act sets operator liability limits up to ₹3,000 crore for large reactors, requiring private operators to secure insurance or financial security before operations. The Central government may establish a Nuclear Liability Fund to cover liabilities exceeding operator limits or exceptional incidents.
