US nuclear companies are preparing feedback on India’s draft SHANTI Act regulations, focusing on licensing, liability and private sector participation. USISPF is coordinating the submission before the September 4 deadline. The framework is expected to shape private investment in India’s nuclear sector as the country targets 100 GW capacity by 2047.

The US nuclear industry is preparing a comprehensive submission to India on the draft rules and regulations for implementing the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India (SHANTI) Act, as the country moves to open its atomic energy sector to private participation.
