India and Canada sign 10-year nuclear energy and uranium supply deal
Change
India and Canada signed a 10-year nuclear cooperation agreement that includes Canadian uranium exports to India and parallel pacts on critical minerals, space, defence and education, together with a leader-level commitment to finalise a free trade agreement by the end of 2026.
Why it matters
The pact requires Canada to create export and safeguards arrangements to permit sustained uranium shipments, which will demand immediate regulatory and licensing work. Negotiators in both capitals face a binding timetable that raises pressure to complete trade talks and related commercial frameworks by end‑2026.
Implications
- • Canada's nuclear regulator and export licensing officials must establish and process authorisations to enable sustained uranium exports to India under the new cooperation framework.
- • India's nuclear procurement agencies must integrate Canadian uranium into civil-fuel supply plans and implement coordinating safeguards, transport and approval arrangements.
