\n

India’s energy law scenario has had two massive updates in the last two weeks. The Ministry of Petroleum and Natural Gas has come up with a completely new Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 2025<\/a> (“PNG Rules 2025”) replacing the Petroleum and Natural Gas Rules, 1959 (“PNG Rules 1959”). The PNG Rules 1959 defined upstream petroleum law for more than 65 years. With the enactment of the Oilfields (Regulation and Development) Amendment Act, 2025, the Government has thought it fit to come up with the PNG Rules 2025. This is a significant development for energy law in India.\u00a0<\/p>\n

<\/a><\/div>\n

“A BILL to provide for the promotion and development of nuclear energy and ionising radiation for nuclear power generation, application in healthcare, food, water, agriculture, industry, research, environment, innovation in nuclear science and technology, for the welfare of the people of India, and for robust regulatory framework for its safe and secure utilisation and for matters connected therewith or incidental thereto<\/i>.”<\/p>\n

Thus, broadly, the objectives of the Bill are to promote and develop nuclear energy and ioning radiation for:<\/p>\n

    \n
  • nuclear power generation, application in healthcare, food, water, agriculture, industry, research, environment, innovation in nuclear science and technology;<\/li>\n
  • the welfare of the people of India; and<\/li>\n
  • robust regulatory framework for its safe and secure utilisation.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n

    \u00a0The Bill (Clause 91) seeks to repeal the\u00a0Atomic Energy Act, 1962 and the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, 2010 but save actions made thereunder.\u00a0<\/p>\n
