Official record or government publication showing that the named bill was enacted into law in India (passed and became law).
Independent legislative tracking by PRS Legislative Research shows that the Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Bill, 2025 (the SHANTI Bill) was introduced in the Lok Sabha on December 15, 2025, passed by the Lok Sabha on December 17, 2025, and passed by the Rajya Sabha on December 18, 2025, with the text then referenced as the “Sustainable Harnessing and Advancement of Nuclear Energy for Transforming India Act, 2025.” Reporting from the Economic Times’ energy vertical states that President Droupadi Murmu gave assent to the SHANTI Bill in the final days of 2025, explicitly describing this as opening India’s nuclear sector to private and foreign participation. Together, passage by both houses of Parliament and presidential assent mean the bill has been enacted into law prior to January 13, 2026. Verdict: True, because credible legislative tracking and mainstream reporting show that the SHANTI Bill completed parliamentary passage and received presidential assent in late 2025, making it an enacted law by the time of the quoted statement.
