SHANTI bill marks landmark reform in India’s nuclear sector, says Jitendra Singh



Dr Singh noted that India’s nuclear power capacity has doubled from around 4.4 GW in 2014 to nearly 8.7 GW today, with plans to reach about 100 GW by 2047. This would allow nuclear energy to supply close to 10 per cent of the country’s electricity needs, supporting India’s Net Zero commitments.The Minister also highlighted the growing contribution of nuclear science to healthcare, particularly in cancer diagnosis and treatment using nuclear medicine and isotopes, underlining its role in human welfare and social well-being.Looking ahead, Dr Singh said India is moving towards Small Modular Reactors, ideal for dense urban areas, industrial corridors, and emerging economic zones. These reactors are expected to strengthen energy security while ensuring environmental responsibility.He added that the SHANTI Bill has received broad acceptance from the scientific community, industry, start-ups, and the wider innovation ecosystem, reflecting strong national consensus on modernising and reforming India’s nuclear sector. Dr Singh concluded that the Bill exemplifies Modi 3.0’s reform-first approach, with science-driven policy guiding India’s journey towards becoming a developed nation by 2047.
