India has a largely indigenous nuclear power programme.

The Indian government is committed to growing its nuclear power capacity as part of its massive infrastructure development programme.

Because India is outside the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty due to its weapons programme, it was for 34 years largely excluded from trade in nuclear plant and materials, which hampered its development of civil nuclear energy until 2009.

Due to earlier trade bans and lack of indigenous uranium, India has uniquely been developing a nuclear fuel cycle to exploit its reserves of thorium.

Since 2010, a fundamental incompatibility between India’s civil liability law and international conventions limits foreign technology provision.
