  • The United States removed three Indian nuclear institutions, including the Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (Barc), from its 'restrictive entity list. This development comes just a week after NSA Jake Sullivan's announcement during his visit to India.

The article from Firstpost discusses the recent decision by the United States to remove India's Bhabha Atomic Research Centre (BARC) along with two other institutions from its sanctions list, signaling a positive shift in India-US relations. This move comes as part of President Joe Biden's farewell gestures towards India, aiming to strengthen bilateral ties. Previously, these institutions were under sanctions due to concerns over nuclear proliferation. The delisting is seen as an effort to enhance cooperation in civil nuclear technology and other scientific endeavors, reflecting a broader strategic alignment between the two nations. This action not only facilitates easier collaboration in research and development but also underscores the US's commitment to bolstering its strategic partnership with India, especially in the context of regional security dynamics and technological advancements.
