Toronto, Feb. 26 -- Inking a deal to supply uranium to India is expected to be among the principal deliverables as Canadian Prime Minister Mark Carney arrives in the country later this week. Tim Gitzel, CEO of one of the world's largest uranium suppliers, Cameco will be part of the business delegation accompanying Carney during the visit, Business Council of Canada CEO and president Goldy Hyder confirmed to the Hindustan Times. While Hyder could not confirm whether the uranium supply deal will be clinched during the visit, officials have indicated as much. Cameco is headquartered in Saskatoon in the province of Saskatchewan and its premier Scott Moe will be part of the delegation joining Carney.

The deal, people familiar with discussions said, will be worth about CA$ 2.8 billion and span a decade. Cameco earlier had a supply agreement with India's Department of Atomic Energy, which expired in 2020. That agreement came in effect after Prime Minister Narendra Modi travelled to Canada in the spring of 2015 and held a bilateral with his then Canadian counterpart Stephen Harper. Export of Canadian uranium to India for the generation of electricity was authorised by the 2013 Canada-India Nuclear Co-operation Agreement. A broader nuclear cooperation agreement could be in the works, with India also interested in small modular reactors, a senior official had indicated earlier. That's also part of the energy dialogue launched when Canada's minister of energy Tim Hodgson visited India last month....
