The Times of India reported on November 28 that Indian Prime Minister Modi announced significant reforms to the nuclear policy, planning to open the nuclear energy sector to private enterprises. Modi pointed out that in the context of the long-term state monopoly over India's nuclear energy industry, this adjustment is of great significance, creating new opportunities in areas such as small modular reactors, advanced reactors, and nuclear innovation, and injecting new momentum into India's energy security and enhancing its technological strategic competitiveness. It is reported that the Indian government's goal is to "increase India's nuclear power capacity from the current 880万千瓦 (8.8 GW) to 100 GW by 2047." To achieve the above goal, the Indian government has included the "Atomic Energy Bill, 2025" in the agenda of the winter session of the parliament in December. The bill aims to significantly adjust the current system framework and open the nuclear power industry to private enterprises. In addition, when Finance Minister Nirmala Sitharaman submitted the 2025-26 fiscal year federal budget in February, she also announced plans to revise India's Nuclear Liability Law (the law stipulates that operators and suppliers of nuclear facilities bear full responsibility for any accident consequences, which has been controversial due to being out of line with international norms), improving the relevant legal system.
