2008 Indo-US nuclear agreement has been viewed recently as not reaching expectations, because US commerce has not commenced - however, this was not totally unexpected - nuclear projects take a long time in general - the US has not built a plant in more than 30 years.

As India liberalizes the civil nuclear market, progress will be made by both sides.  US and India will meet in June in DC for the next "strategic dialogue", and more progress is expected.

Elevated understanding that nuclear liability can only be channeled to the suppliers, the implementing rules, and government officials seem to be trying to make this happen. It is a politically charged issue - but ultimately it will get resolved.

Hopefully the implementing rules on nuclear liability will be finalized during the “Monsoon session” of Parliament without "poison pill" amendments.

U.S. export controls have also been a challenge, but these too seem to be manageable when required
