India is interested in Thorium because it has little Uranium but has the fourth largest Thorium deposits in the world (Australia has the most followed by the USA and Turkey), unfortunately they seem most interested in solid fuel designs so they will miss many of the advantages of liquid fuel, like immunity from melt down and zero neutron damage. But it still would be better than our current Uranium reactors.
