SHANTI Bill, passed by Parliament & granted Presidential assent earlier this month, opens up nuclear sector to private players & makes key changes to liability provisions.
US ex-President Jimmy Carter who passed away Sunday at age 100, wielded powers of White House to ensure America sends 39 tonnes of low-enriched uranium to India to keep Tarapur running.
Ex-chairman of the Atomic Energy Commission says India missed the bus on nuclear trade, and that entering the market will not only improve economy but also country’s global standing.
Both countries failed to make headway mainly on a breakthrough in the civil nuclear deal, acquisition of Amphibious aircraft and progress in the bullet train project.
In tactical terms, the shirtless protest was worse than a self-goal. Suddenly, the fiascos of the AI Summit were forgotten, and the Youth Congress’s disruption became the issue.
IAF is fine with accepting the aircraft with 'must-haves', even if some other steps remain pending, which may take at least another year, it is learnt.
