The document discusses India's nuclear energy goals and relations with supplier countries. Nearly a decade after announcing a nuclear deal with the US, India has not seen substantial outcomes and has reduced its 2032 nuclear capacity target. A key obstacle has been India's 2010 Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act, which establishes compensation for nuclear accidents but is viewed as an obstacle by supplier countries for operationalizing nuclear energy and bilateral relations.

Nearly even a decade after the announcement of India-US nuclear deal there has not been any substantial outcome. The target of installing 63 Gigawatts of nuclear capacity by 2032 has been reduced to 27.5 and none of the landmark deals envisaged is struck. The provisions of Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage (CLND) Act 2010, which contains speedy compensation mechanism for victims of civil nuclear accident is considered major obstacle in operationalizing Nuclear Energy and bilateral relation with key supplier countries.
