India's nuclear plans advance, oil prices to stay high, and state polls begin
Published 1 day, 13 hours ago
Description
First, we speak to The Indian Express’ Anil Sasi about a major milestone in India’s nuclear programme, as the Fast Breeder Reactor at Kalpakkam attains criticality, marking a significant step in the country’s long-term three-stage nuclear energy strategy.
Next, we talk to The Indian Express’ Sukalp Sharma about why the West Asia ceasefire has not fully eased the energy shock, especially for import-dependent countries like India, with continued risks around supplies through the Strait of Hormuz. (13:35)
And in the end, we take a look at the first big round of polling across Assam, Kerala, and Puducherry, as key political contests unfold ahead of results next month. (24:00)
