This is the first time private companies will be allowed to set up nuclear power plants in the country.
Another major bill to be introduced is the Higher Education Commission of India Bill. Under this bill, separate bodies such as UGC, AICTE, and NCTE will be scrapped and merged into one single commission. The aim is to give more freedom to colleges and universities and make the education system more transparent.
The National Highway (Amendment) Bill will try to make the land acquisition process faster and more transparent so that highway projects are not delayed. The government is also preparing the Corporate Law (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which will amend the Companies Act, 2013, and the LLP Act, 2008. This will further improve the Ease of Doing Business in India.
The Securities Markets Code Bill, 2025 will merge the SEBI Act, Depositories Act, and Securities Contracts Act into a single, simpler law. A proposal for the 131st Constitutional Amendment will also be introduced. This amendment will bring the Chandigarh Union Territory under the purview of Article 240, which allows the central government to make regulations that have the force of law in certain union territories.
In the upcoming Winter Session, the I.N.D.I.A. bloc may also bring an impeachment motion against Chief Election Commissioner (CEC) Gyanesh Kumar. Earlier, on August 18, leaders of the opposition alliance met at Congress President Mallikarjun Kharge’s residence.
