India will get 12 nuclear energy reactors from Russia
under an agreement aimed at boosting nuclear energy cooperation.
As per the deal signed by the two countries during a
summit in New Delhi on Thursday, Russia's state-owned Rosatom would supply 12
nuclear energy reactors for India over 20 years.
A 1,000-megawatt reactor is operating at the
Russian-built Kudankulam power station in India's Tamil Nadu district, with a
second due to come on stream in 2015.
Russian President Vladimir Putin had been pushing
for Rosatom to increase the number of reactors it could supply to as many as
25.
Indian officials say that a total of six reactors will be built at Kudankulam, with a further six to follow at a site that has not yet been determined.
