India is in talks to get its first shipment of uranium from Australia by March, highlighting the south Asian nation’s push to secure supplies of a key component of its clean-energy strategy.
India is seeking to buy as much as 1 500 t of the atomic fuel over five years and expects its first shipment of about 250 t in around eight months, if they agree on prices, Sekhar Basu, secretary at the Department of Atomic Energy, said in a phone interview.
