A Parliamentary Standing Committee (the Committee on Public Undertakings), reviewing the performance of the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL), has flagged that India's domestic uranium production meets only about 30 per cent of the country's requirement for its Pressurised Heavy Water Reactors (PHWRs). As India's nuclear fleet expands, PHWR fuel needs could touch around 5,400 tonnes of natural uranium oxide (U3O8) a year.
