Australia, India strike deal on uranium exports during Modi visit
The arrangement opens a new market worth billions and supports India’s plan to reach 100 gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2047, officials said.
- On Thursday, Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced a landmark uranium supply agreement in Melbourne to bolster India's clean energy goals.
- Facing an energy crisis and rising demand, India—home to 1.4 billion people—plans to scale up nuclear power generation, aiming to produce 100 gigawatts of nuclear energy by 2047.
- Albanese and Modi also agreed to deepen defense and critical minerals cooperation, with Australia hosting a temporary space tracking terminal on the Cocos Keeling Islands to support India's Gaganyaan human spaceflight program.
- While Modi prepares to address 30,000 people at Marvel Stadium on Thursday night, critics like Australian Conservation Foundation campaigner Dave Sweeney oppose the uranium exports, citing non-proliferation and radioactive waste concerns.
- The two nations are fast-tracking a comprehensive economic cooperation agreement, a shift reflecting the Indian diaspora's emergence as Australia's largest overseas-born community, according to Teesta Prakash of the Australia India Institute.
