Japan gives India its second most important nuclear deal
India, Japan sign MoUs on civil nuclear energy, bullet train
HIGHLIGHTS
• Have been engaged in India and Japan on a Civil Nuclear Agreement Intensive negotiations.
• China to Become a Market Leader Designs copied Japanese and German.
• For Japan, "Security choices are economic choices."
NEW DELHI: Since 2010, India and Japan have been engaged in intensive negotiations on a civil nuclear agreement, which has challenged all Japanese notions of its unique nuclear position in the world. In the Last Weeks, Amandeep Gill in MEA and later Foreign Secretary S Jaishankar Traveled to Japan to "Freeze" What will Become the text of India's Second-Most valuable International Civil Nuclear Agreement. Why did Japan give in? First, there has been a Political Alignment between India and Japan (Both Manmohan Singh and Narendra Modi Have personally invested in this Relationship Building Over the years). This meant a deeper political push to what would be a very difficult deal. Get through this Agreement will Abe to Have the Japanese parliament, where he is sure to Face As a pushback from Japanese lawmakers who may not BE erstwhile Nuclear convinced about Outlier, India. However, top Japanese Officials Speaking to TOI Point to within a different calculation the Tokyo administration that may have tilted the scales. China's ability to quickly reverse engineer entire plants, trains etc and position themselves as global manufacturers has shaken Japan.
China has already taken the design of Westinghouse's AP1000 nuclear power plant, reverse engineered it and is rolling out the rebadged CAP1000, one of the first users of which will most likely be Pakistan. In Too HIGH speed Railways, China copied to Japanese and German Designs Become a Market Leader - only recently, Japan Lost out on a big HIGH speed Railway Contract to the Chinese in Indonesia. At this Point in time, the Japanese Nuclear Industry is stalled, as after Fukushima, Japan has not yet started building new plants. The west, Japan's traditional clients, too have stopped. China continues to build however. It's this reality that prompted Abe to tell his senior officials, "economic choices are security choices." The deal, once completed, will make it easier for companies like Westinghouse and Areva to go ahead with their nuclear investments in India, all of which needed India to have a nuclear pact with Japan.
In the past few years, as Japan has gone slow on the deal, the Indian nuclear environment too has undergone significant changes. Early this year, India completed the administrative arrangements with the US on the India-US nuclear deal, addressing the tough issue of "tracking" of imported nuclear material in Indian plants. The Resolution of this Issue cleared a Major Hurdle with Japan. Second, a deal between Areva and L & T signed during Modi's Visit to Paris Earlier this year means that not Far in the Future, L & T could BE Building complex and sophisticated Reactor components in India, bringing down their cost, but also giving companies the option to source from places other than Japan. Currently, L & T is upgrading its manufacturing facilities under the collaboration. With this deal, companies could expand their sourcing options.
