REUTERS/Anushree FadnavisThe US government is in the process of removing restrictions on Indian nuclear entities, National Security Advisor Jake Sullivan said on Monday, in a bid to forge deeper energy ties with New Delhi and bolster a 20-year old landmark nuclear deal. The US Department of Commerce's list currently includes at least four entities of India's Department of Atomic Energy, and some Indian nuclear reactors and nuclear power plants. India's stringent nuclear compensation laws have previously hurt deals with foreign power plant builders, leading the country to defer its target to add 20,000 MW of nuclear power from 2020 to 2030. In 2019, India and the US agreed to build six US nuclear power plants in India.
