SHANTI Act lets private firms build nuclear plants — the cost problem remains unsolved

- The target is 100 GW of nuclear power by 2047 — but India currently has only 8 GW, less than 2% of its total electricity capacity.
- Nobody has decided yet who sets the price of nuclear electricity — that unresolved question is holding back private investment.
