Winter Session Set to Transform India’s Economy with Key Bills on Insurance, Insolvency, and Atomic Energy
Centre to introduce major reform bills in Winter Session aiming to accelerate investment and economic growth.
India’s Winter Session of Parliament, scheduled from December 1 to 19, 2025, is set to witness the introduction of at least a dozen significant reform bills aimed at accelerating economic growth and improving the ease of doing business across the country. The Prime Minister Narendra Modi-led government aims to drive forward a legislative agenda aligned with the vision of ‘Viksit Bharat 2047’, which targets sustained high economic growth and enhanced global competitiveness.
Among the key legislations slated for introduction is the Insurance Laws (Amendment) Bill, 2025, which proposes increasing foreign direct investment (FDI) limits to 100% in the insurance sector. This reform is designed to attract more international capital and expertise, thus broadening insurance penetration in underserved regions across India. The bill is expected to simplify existing FDI conditions, facilitating greater sectoral expansion.
The Insolvency and Bankruptcy Code (Amendment) Bill of 2025 aims to streamline insolvency resolutions by simplifying group and cross-border processes, promoting out-of-court settlements, and reinforcing creditor rights. This bill intends to make insolvency proceedings quicker and more investor-friendly, with an emphasis on speeding up the resolution timelines for startups and small companies.

Another transformational piece of legislation is the Atomic Energy Bill, 2025, which plans to liberalize India’s nuclear energy space by permitting private sector participation alongside existing public entities like the Nuclear Power Corporation of India. The bill also addresses liability and safety concerns to attract private investments, supporting India’s goal of achieving 100 GW of nuclear energy capacity by 2047.
The session is also expected to take up the long-pending Securities Markets Code Bill, 2025, which aims to consolidate various securities-related laws into a single, comprehensive framework. This move will streamline compliance, enhance regulatory efficiency, and foster a more robust capital market ecosystem. Other bills anticipated to feature on the agenda address corporate law amendments, arbitration reforms, and land acquisition transparency, collectively reinforcing the government’s push toward economic reform and sustainable development.
