    With several private power project developers seeking higher tariffs than they had quoted while bidding due to rising input costs and delayed clearances, industry body ASSOCHAM today said the country has limited options and must forge ahead with nuclear energy initiatives.

ASSOCHAM thus calls for nuclear energy to generate power "which is a cleaner and much cheaper" option in the long run compared with hydrocarbons.
