India  has the world's largest Thorium deposits, enough to produce 500GWe of  power, every year for 400 years, if you consider only the reserves that  can be extracted economically.
The Problems:
So India does have lot of thorium reserves but the problem is not many countries are interested in thorium reactor technology so India has to develop it from scratch. 50% of publications in these matters are from India and we are the only country which knows how to make a complete thorium reactor...
Progress and Plans:
This month India successfully tested its first Thorium based reactor. India is planning on making 60 such reactors in next 10 years.
We are also planning on developing automobiles that can be powered on thorium, 8gm of thorium can power a car for 300k km.
