India's reactors are very small size as compared to other countries with AVERAGE power production of only 30 MW per plant as compared to 500 MW in advanced countries, which means we have a long way to go.
Regarding the development of indegenius thorium based reactors, they are still under development with the first prototype reactor will be tested in 2009. ACTUAL commercial reactors are 20 to 25 YEARS away !!! How much population would have increased by then ?
So we need reactors urgently NOW. If domestically we cant produce mega reactors quickly then go for imports.
