Amendments to India's Nuclear Energy Laws

Planned

The Indian government plans to move two amendments to the nuclear energy laws in the upcoming monsoon Parliament session. These amendments include capping the liability of equipment vendors in the event of an accident and enabling private companies to claim a stake in nuclear power plant operations in India. These reforms aim to open up the atomic energy sector, which has been hindered by legal bottlenecks and lack of foreign investments, and are part of India's broader trade and investment outreach to the United States.
