Why was this Bill needed?
* Coal still generates 60% of India’s electricity
* Energy demand is rising fast
* Heavy dependence on fuel imports affects energy security
* India's nuclear potential yet to be fully explored inspite of untapped stores of uranium and nearly 25% of world's thorium reserves
Nuclear Power = Aatmanirbhar, Clean, 24×7 Energy
* Reduces dependence on imported fossil fuels
* Power day & night, in all seasons
* Keeps homes, factories & data centres running
* Zero carbon emissions during generation
Strong nuclear capacity means stronger energy security for India 🇮🇳
