Rajya Sabha clears SHANTI bill: Why is India opening its most sensitive nuclear sector after...?

India’s Parliament has cleared a landmark nuclear reform that could reshape the country’s energy future. The SHANTI Bill opens the atomic sector to private players, rewrites decades-old laws and quietly alters liability rules that once scared global suppliers away. Supporters say the move is crucial for meeting India’s long-term clean energy goals and attracting massive investment. Critics warn the timing, global pressure and diluted accountability raise serious red flags. With US companies eyeing billion-dollar deals and domestic firms rallying on markets, the political and strategic stakes are rising fast.
