Canadian firm Cameco has secured a deal to supply India with 22 million pounds of uranium between 2027 and 2035. This agreement is pivotal for India's ambitious target of expanding its nuclear energy capacity to 100 gigawatts by 2047. The pact has sparked criticism from Pakistan, whose government has formally expressed dissatisfaction with the arrangement. Despite regional objections, the supply agreement marks a crucial advancement for India's long-term energy security and its broader nuclear power expansion strategy.
