A report in Hindustan Times on 9 June said:"Even as it scouts for nuclear fuel from the US and elsewhere, India has been sitting on massive, untapped reserves of uranium, hundreds of tonnes of which have been discovered over the past couple of years — adding to the over 1 lakh tonnes already identified in Jharkhand, Meghalaya, Andhra Pradesh, Rajasthan and Tamil Nadu.
Together, these uranium resources would be enough to run all of India’s current and planned nuclear power plants for their entire lifetime of 40 years. India’s atomic energy establishment has done next to nothing to tap deposits identified up to 15 years ago. Mining is yet to begin at several sites explored, identified and handed through the 1990s by the Atomic Minerals Directorate (AMD), the government’s uranium exploration arm, to the Uranium Corporation of India Ltd (UCIL)."
India imports Uranium because importers will pay bribes to the officers and Ministers. India imports wheat from Australia but refused to pay proper price to India's own farmers for the same reason. India imports worse-quality power plants from China, which breaks down, depriving BHEL. India imports fertiliser by shutting down all ferliser producing factories. This is called Reformed Economy of both BJP-Congress. Thus, India is willing to sign the 123 Treaty to give nuclear weapons just to import Uranium, as that will being lot more bribes.
