SHANTI Act, 2025 marks a significant change in India\u2019s nuclear power policy by dismantling the state monopoly and enabling private entities to engage in nuclear power plant operations.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Energy Infrastructure for AI<\/strong>: The act addresses the critical need for stable, high-quality, baseload power for the adoption of artificial intelligence, driven by a growing AI sector expected to contribute nearly $1 trillion to GDP by 2035.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Liability and Liability Caps<\/strong>: SHANTI\u2019s controversial liability provisions cap operator liability at \u20b93,000 crore, aiming to attract private investment by minimizing legal barriers, despite concerns about its impact on accountability.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Small Modular Reactors (SMRs)<\/strong>: The act supports the deployment of SMRs, which provide stable, round-the-clock power essential for data centers and industrial clusters, enhancing integration with AI technologies.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Regulatory Framework Updates<\/strong>: SHANTI seeks to create a unified regulatory framework overseen by the Atomic Energy Regulatory Board (AERB) to ensure safety and accountability while fostering private sector participation.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Future-Proofing Energy Supply<\/strong>: By enabling nuclear power infrastructure, SHANTI aims to secure reliable energy to support India&#8217;s growing digital and AI infrastructure, fostering an inclusive technological environment.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Complementary Measures Required<\/strong>: To be fully effective, SHANTI requires market reforms, improved regulatory frameworks, and better coordination between central and state governments to address existing energy grid challenges.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<li>\n<p><strong>Strategic Vision for Energy and Economy<\/strong>: The act signals India\u2019s strategic investment in nuclear energy to sustain its future growth, particularly in technology-driven sectors and to reduce reliance on traditional fragmented energy markets.<\/p>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Inside the SHANTI Act 2025: India\u2019s nuclear policy meets artificial intelligence
