India Enacts SHANTI Act to Reform Nuclear Sector and Boost Clean Energy

India's SHANTI Act marks a significant reform in its nuclear sector, aiming to boost clean energy and meet net-zero targets by allowing private participation and establishing a regulatory framework. The legislation seeks to address climate goals and energy security by increasing nuclear capacity, introducing dispute resolution mechanisms, and clarifying liability provisions. However, challenges persist regarding financial and technical hurdles, and questions remain about the adequacy of the liability threshold in extreme scenarios, despite efforts to balance commercial opportunity with safety and non-proliferation concerns.
