India is deficient in both gold and uranium resources. Almost one-third of the annual global mine production of ~2500 tonnes of gold is imported into India to fulfil the high gold consumption. Uranium is important for production of nuclear energy, more specifically to execute the country's ambitious programme to generate 20 GW of electricity by 2020.

Abstract


India is deficient in both gold and uranium resources. Almost one-third of the annual global mine production of ~2500 tonnes of gold is imported into India to fulfil the high gold consumption. Uranium is important for production of nuclear energy, more specifically to execute the country's ambitious programme to generate 20 GW of electricity by 2020.
