Australia’s ‘historic’ chance to supply uranium for India’s nuclear energy push, says PM Modi.
MELBOURNE
: Australia has a “historic” chance to supply the uranium that could power India’s nuclear energy transformation, Prime Minister Narendra Modi said Thursday ahead of high-level talks.
Faced with an almost-insatiable appetite for electricity in the world’s most populous nation, Modi has outlined plans to substantially scale-up nuclear power generation in coming years.
Australia lays claim to around 28% of the world’s uranium resource, but legal hurdles and political sensitivities have hindered exports to India.
“Australia’s huge uranium reserves are directly connected to India’s nuclear journey,” Modi told a business forum in Melbourne ahead of a summit with his counterpart Anthony Albanese…

India and Australia on Thursday unveiled an ambitious roadmap to elevate their Comprehensive Strategic Partnership, signing a landmark agreement to facilitate Australian uranium supplies for India's civilian nuclear programme while deciding to fast-track negotiations on a Comprehensive Economic Cooperation Agreement (CECA) and expand cooperation across critical minerals, clean energy, cyber technologies and maritime security.
Addressing a joint press conference after the third India-Australia Annual Summit with Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese, Prime Minister Narendra Modi described the relationship as a partnership of the future, saying the two countries had emerged as trusted democratic partners in the Indo-Pacific.
A major outcome of the summit was an agreement in the nuclear energy sector that will facilitate uranium supplies from Australia to India, providing a significant boost to New Delhi's clean energy ambitions and long-term energy security.

Modi wants Australia's uranium to power India's data centre boom
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi is hoping to use a visit to Australia next month to unlock a flood of uranium imports and boost defence ties with Australia in a move that will be closely watched by China.
Australia and India struck a historic deal to allow uranium exports in 2014, but there have been only negligible shipments in the following 12 years.
India is planning a major expansion of nuclear power driven by the surging demand for new data centres used for artificial intelligence.
Modi, one of the world’s most important political leaders, is expected to visit Australia in the second week of July, including meetings with Prime Minister Anthony Albanese and a stadium rally for members of the Indian diaspora in Melbourne.
He will also visit Indonesia and New Zealand during the trip.
Albanese hailed Modi as “the boss” during a packed rally of 20,000 people at Sydney Olympic Park during his most recent visit in 2023, sparking debate about whether Albanese was ignoring human rights violations occurring under Modi’s watch.
On Albanese’s trip to India in March 2023, he was ferried around a stadium in Ahmedaba…
