Head of Rosatom and Head of the Department for Atomic Energy of the Government of India Hold Talks on Expanding Cooperation Rosatom, PUBLISHED 11.11.2025 A working meeting took place in Mumbai, India, between Alexey Likhachev, Director General of the Rosatom State Corporation and Ajit Kumar Mohanty, Chairman of India's Department of Atomic Energy. The main topic of the talks was the development of bilateral cooperation in the field of nuclear energy. During the meeting, the parties reviewed in detail the progress of the Kudankulam NPP - the largest nuclear facility in India and the flagship project of Russian-Indian technological and energy cooperation. Units 1 and 2 were connected to India's national power grid in 2013 and 2016 respectively and currently supply electricity to the southern regions of the country. At Unit 3, pre-commissioning activities are underway, with preparations for one of the key upcoming milestones - testing of safety systems on an open reactor. Meanwhile, construction and installation work and equipment deliveries continue at Unit 4, and the third phase - Units 5 and 6 - is actively under construction. "Russia and India share a long-term and mutually beneficial partnership in the nuclear sphere. The Kudankulam project laid the foundation for our cooperation and opened the way for new joint initiatives and technology exchange. We have built an effective interaction system and a reliable supply chain, which now serve as the basis for further development of new projects - whether for large or small-scale power plants. Today, India has set itself an ambitious goal of increasing its nuclear generation capacity to 100 GW, and Rosatom is ready to contribute by offering efficient technologies that have proven their reliability both in Russia and abroad," - said Alexey Likhachev, Director General of Rosatom.
