India's Shanti Bill Aims to Boost Nuclear Energy

India's Shanti Bill Aims to Boost Nuclear Energy

India has introduced a new law called the Shanti Bill to improve its nuclear energy sector and attract more foreign investment.

This law replaces old rules and aims to make nuclear power a big part of India's clean energy plans.

It sets rules for who can build nuclear plants and how much they can invest.

The law also changes who is responsible if something goes wrong, making it clearer and more in line with global standards.

There are debates about how much foreign companies can invest and how taxes should be applied to nuclear energy compared to other clean energy sources.

Some worker groups are planning a strike because they have concerns about safety and responsibility.

The law also includes new rules about patents for nuclear technology, which could help Indian companies get involved in this field.
