India’s push to rapidly expand nuclear power is increasingly turning into a race to secure the uranium needed to fuel its future reactors.
With the government targeting 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047, India is pursuing uranium supplies across Central Asia, Australia and North America while also exploring overseas mining assets, according to an analysis by the Times of India. The strategy is unfolding alongside a major change in domestic nuclear policy that is expected to bring private companies into power generation.
