#Nuclear deal with USA saw the international ban on exporting nuclear fuel and selling much needed nuclear power technology to India being lifted. The immediate benefit was that several nuclear power plants in India that were languishing because of a lack of fuel started functioning to capacity after India was able to import nuclear fuel. But the UPA government shot itself in the foot by yielding to pressure from both the BJP and the Left and passing a stringent nuclear liability Bill in Parliament that has dissuaded foreign civilian nuclear power corporations, including Russians, from setting up plants in India.
