Nuclear Bill 2025: Piyush Mishra Reports on Dr Jitendra Singh Tabling SHANTI Bill to End State Monopoly

In this breaking news update, India Today’s Piyush Mishra reports on the tabling of the ‘Sustainable Harnessing of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Bill 2025’ (SHANTI Bill) by Union Minister Dr Jitendra Singh. Piyush Mishra explains that the legislation aims to ‘repeal the 1962 and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act,’ which have been viewed as roadblocks to investment. The bill focuses on the peaceful use of nuclear energy across power, health, agriculture, and industry, effectively ending the decades-old state monopoly. Mishra highlights that the new framework will welcome private participation and provide a ‘pragmatic’ regime for nuclear damage liability, benefiting citizens and farmers alike.
