Few more comments: LWR= Enriched U, how are fixed on this. As said Enrichment and U-235 supply remain bottlenecks for LWR expansion. Unlike PHWRs, LWRs require enriched uranium (U-235 or HALEU). India’s current enrichment capacity is limited, and AFAIK no major domestic centrifuge expansion has been...

Rajeshji- OM's stunts or US political swings don’t change India’s nuclear fundamentals. Even if the US pushes hard on nuclear (SMRs + fuel supply chains), India cannot anchor its energy security on enriched-uranium systems without accepting strategic dependence.

Thanks. Agee with you. -( As I understand it) India is not abandoning its heavy-water/thorium path; it is pragmatically adding a light-water track to stay commercially and industrially relevant in a world dominated by LWRs.
