India and Australia finalized an administrative arrangement enabling long-term uranium exports under IAEA safeguards, removing a regulatory bottleneck for India's plan to scale nuclear capacity from 8.78 GW to 100 GW by 2047.

India just locked in a second uranium supplier—but that supply chain from mine to reactor takes years to build. If you run fuel conversion, enrichment, fabrication, or transport logistics for nuclear material, India is about to need all of it at scale.
