The year 2025 marked a historic turning point in India’s infrastructure reform agenda, spanning the critical sectors of nuclear energy and maritime development. A major highlight was the enactment of the SHANTI Bill, which comprehensively modernised India’s civilian nuclear framework. The reform opened the sector to private and foreign participation, established a dedicated nuclear liability fund, and rationalised supplier liability—bringing greater clarity, confidence, and global alignment to India’s nuclear ecosystem.
These measures are expected to unlock long-term investments worth USD 100–150 billion, enable the deployment of Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), and firmly position nuclear power as a core pillar of India’s clean and reliable energy future.
In parallel, the Government enacted five new laws to reform the maritime sector. These reforms aim to reduce logistics costs, simplify documentation and compliance, enhance ease of doing business, and strengthen port governance—thereby improving India’s competitiveness in global trade and reinforcing its role as a major maritime hub.
Together, these landmark reforms reflect India’s commitment to sustainable growth, energy security, and world-class infrastructure, laying a strong foundation for long-term economic transformation.
