India plans to open uranium sector to private players to boost nuclear expansion
The move aims to attract billions of dollars and support the country's ambitious goal to expand nuclear power capacity 12 fold by 2047 India is planning to open its uranium mining, import, and processing sector to private companies, ending a decades-long state monopoly, according to a Reuters report, citing government sources. This move aims to attract billions of dollars and support the country's ambitious goal to expand nuclear power capacity 12 fold by 2047. In April, Reuters had reported that Prime Minister Narendra Modi's government is also planning to relax requirements to allow foreign players to take a minority stake in power plants. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Currently, India's government tightly controls uranium mining and processing due to concerns over nuclear material misuse, radiation safety, and strategic security. It will, however, continue to manage spent uranium reprocessing and plutonium waste handling, in line with international norms. To meet rising demand for nuclear fuel amid this expansion, the government is drafting a regulatory framework that would allow private Indian firms to participate in mining, importing, and processing uranium. The policy is expected to be announced within the current fiscal year, reported Reuters. In addition, private companies may be permitted to supply critical control system equipment for nuclear power plants, sources said. Globally, countries such as Canada, South Africa, and the United States already allow private firms to mine and process uranium. Domestic supply not enough According to government data, India has an estimated 76,000 tonnes of uranium — enough to power 10,000 megawatts of nuclear energy for 30 years. However, sources cautioned that domestic reserves would cover only about 25% of the fuel needed to support the country's planned nuclear expansion. The remaining demand would require imports, along with a significant boost to uranium processing capacity. In its February 1 budget announcement, the government revealed its intention to open up the nuclear sector, though it did not provide specifics. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD The move has since prompted several major Indian conglomerates to begin drafting investment plans. Still, experts warn that implementing the policy may face hurdles, as revising existing legislation could prove legally and politically complex. 'It's a major and bold initiative by the Indian Government which is critical for achieving the target,' Reuters quoted Charudatta Palekar, independent power sector consultant, as saying. 'The challenge will be to define quickly the rules of engagement with private sector,' Palekar added. New Delhi will have to change five laws, including the ones regulating mining and electricity sectors and India's foreign direct investment policy to enable private participation in many identified activities, the sources said.

Slamming 50% Trump tariffs, farmer leader Chaduni urges ban on US firms in India
Haryana farmer leader Gurnam Singh Chaduni has called for a complete ban on American companies operating in India after US President Donald Trump announced steep tariffs on Indian week, Trump signed an Executive Order imposing an additional 25% duty on Indian imports — on top of an earlier 25% hike — citing India's continued purchase of Russian oil. The combined 50% tariff will take effect from August to the move, Bharatiya Kisan Union (Chaduni) chief Gurnam Singh Chaduni said India must "hit back in a similar manner" by targeting US companies. "The US has imposed heavy tariffs on India and India must hit back in a similar way and ban American companies operating on Indian soil," Chaduni told India Today farmer leader argued that many American businesses in India, especially large fast-food and retail chains, earn substantial profits and repatriate them to the US."Why are we allowing this when the US is imposing tariffs on us? We must give a similar reply and ban all these companies," he said. "You travel on highways and one can spot the big food giants of the US spreading their business all over. This must stop," Chaduni farmer leader, who played a prominent role in the 2022 anti-farm laws protests, said the government must take a firm stand to deter future trade pressure from Washington."We cannot allow anyone to dictate things to us like this. If we don't take a stand now, America will continue to do this in the future too and threaten us regularly. The US-based companies should immediately be banned and not allowed to mint money," he demand also comes against the backdrop of a long-standing flashpoint in India–US trade of the contentious issues has been the proposed entry of US companies into India's dairy and agriculture sectors — a move New Delhi has consistently resisted, citing potential threats to farmers' livelihoods and to the country's self-reliance in these key Washington escalating trade tensions through higher tariffs, Chaduni's call to ban US businesses signals growing pressure on the Indian government to respond with stronger retaliatory measures.- EndsMust Watch
