Tips for your answer

Start with the reform rationale — briefly explain why India is opening strategic sectors like nuclear energy and insurance to greater foreign participation (capital needs, technology access, scale).
Link reforms to sectoral outcomes — connect SHANTI Bill provisions to clean base-load energy and SMRs, and insurance amendments to deeper penetration, competition, and financial inclusion.
Add a balanced critique — mention regulatory capacity, safety and liability concerns in nuclear energy, and the need for strong IRDAI oversight in a fully liberalised insurance sector.
