INDIA — India secures Australian uranium, Indonesian rare earths in critical minerals push

India is aggressively shoring up its access to critical minerals and nuclear fuel to bolster its energy security and manufacturing ambitions. Prime Minister Narendra Modi recently finalized a deal to import uranium from Australia and secured a rare earths agreement with Indonesia. These moves are part of a broader strategy to reduce reliance on Middle Eastern oil, meet a 100 GW nuclear power target by 2047, and supply a growing domestic green energy sector.
