Seema Jain, Member (Finance) of India's Department of Atomic Energy, highlighted the urgent need for innovative financing solutions and risk-sharing mechanisms to support the country's nuclear energy ambitions during a workshop on the SHANTI Act. The SHANTI Act, enacted in December 2025, facilitates private sector participation in nuclear energy generation while limiting supplier liability, aiming for a significant increase in nuclear capacity from 8.8 GW to 100 GW by 2047. Ghanshyam Prasad, Chairperson of the Central Electricity Authority (CEA), stressed the importance of diversifying nuclear fuel sources and establishing long-term procurement arrangements to ensure a stable supply. Gurdeep Singh, Chairman and Managing Director of NTPC Ltd, pointed out that the Act has made nuclear energy a viable clean power source for industries. To achieve these ambitious goals, preparatory activities such as land identification and site studies must be accelerated, alongside the development of partnerships in technology and supply chains. Ensuring long-term fuel availability and maintaining safety standards are also critical for the sector's success.
