Introduction India has had one of the worlds fastest-growing
economies. In India there are number of factors which led to the
situation of energy crisis. There has been sharp rise in the
consumption of energy in India since the last decade of 20 th century. The year 1991 unlashed the forces of liberalization,
privatization sector and accompanying rise in energy, tidalenergy etc.
These resources have failed to fill the gap of demand andsupply of energy due to variety of reasons. Hydroelectricityis a cheap source of energy but is inflexible in terms of location.

Indo-US MoU Indo US unclear deal should be seen in
light of the projected benefits of nuclearenergy. July 18 deal envisages that USwill co operate with India for thedevelopment of civilian nucleartechnology and NSG rules are modified ina way so that India would be able toreceive natural uranium as well asadvanced nuclear technologies forcivilian use. The deal in turn obliges Indiato demarcate its civilian as well asmilitary establishment under IAEAregime.
