PRESS STATEMENT
India & Russia yesterday
(March 12, 2010) agreed on a Roadmap for construction of reactors of Russian
design in India. The road map outlines the timelines for steps to be taken for
the construction of Kudankulam units 3 & 4, provides for construction of
two more reactors at Kudankulam (Units 5&6) and two reactors at Haripur,
West Bengal during 12th Five Year Plan. Construction of more
reactors of Russian design will be considered during formulation of the 13th
Five Year Plan. Besides, the road map calls for progressive indigenisation of
supplies for the reactors to be constructed in collaboration with Russia
beyond the level already envisaged in Kudankulam Units 3 & 4.
