Nuclear liability law controversy ahead of Manmohan Singh's USA visit

  • 5 years ago
Prime Minister Manmohan Singh may have braved a trial by fire in 2008 in getting the US Civil Nuclear Deal passed by Parliament, only to see its implementation stalled by a liability law that has kept all major nuclear power companies from entering India. But that may be set to change with the government making a last ditch attempt to revive the deal before the Prime Minister's upcoming visit to the US on 27 September. The clauses of the Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act have widely been credited for stalling the implementation of the civil nuclear deal between India and the US, with power companies such as General Electric and Westinghouse unwilling to set up plants until certain clauses are amended.
