India-Australia Uranium Deal and India’s Future in Nuclear Energy
Nations worldwide are transitioning rapidly from fossil fuels to clean energy sources as global energy policies are changing. Uranium is one of those clean energy sources that is getting a lot of demand on the international level to replace fossil fuels. Uranium is seen as a fuel source that has the capability to replace coal or gas. It is widely used for producing electricity as a more efficient source than coal and gas, which emit CO₂. Currently, through uranium, around 9% of the world’s electricity is produced (World Nuclear Association, 2026). Countries like Armenia, Belarus, Belgium, Bulgaria, the Czech Republic, Finland, Hungary, Slovakia, Slovenia, South Korea and Ukraine get 30% or more of their electricity generated through uranium, while 70 % of the electricity in France is generated through it (World Nuclear Association, 2026).
