Nuclear power sector: no private players for now

The private sector will not be allowed to enter the civilian nuclear power segment for at least another seven years, according to a top government official. The private sector's entry is conditional on a separate set of rules for the country strategic programme and other alterations in the Atomic Energy Act. "Work is in progress and is at varying stages. This means that the private sector will not get an opportunity till 2014,' said the official who did not wish to be quoted.
