Russia may build 20-24 nuclear power units in India against 14-16 units agreed previously, the Times of India reported Monday, citing Russia\u2019s ambassador Alexander Kadakin.<\/p>\n
The new road map on the countries\u2019 cooperation in the nuclear industry can be formed during Russian President Vladimir Putin\u2019s visit to Delhi on Thursday.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe have big plans for nuclear energy cooperation,\u201d Kadakin said, addressing a news conference ahead of Putin\u2019s visit. \u201cRussia had agreed to help India build 14-16 nuclear units. Now it seems that demand of India is much bigger and this may rise to 20-24 units.\u201d<\/p>\n
The countries plan to start negotiations for the construction of a fifth and sixth units at the Kudankulam nuclear plant soon, he also said. An agreement on the construction of the plant\u2019s third and fourth units will be signed during Putin\u2019s visit, he also said.<\/p>\n
Russian nuclear power corporation Rosatom\u2019s unit Atomstroyexport is building the Kudankulam plant in India\u2019s southern state of Tamil Nadu under a contract signed in 1988. The plant’s first unit was launched in July 2013, while the construction of the second unit is currently at the final stage.<\/p>\n
