India and Russia are exploring a broad spectrum of collaborations, including research on controlled thermonuclear fusion and the development of the transit potential of the Northern Sea Route. AE Likhacheva, CEO of Rosatom, highlighted discussions with India focusing on nuclear technologies, as well as non-energy and non-nuclear areas. The cooperation extends beyond India's borders, with Indian companies involved in Rosatom's projects in Bangladesh.

Rosatom aims to share its expertise with India in various fields, including the construction of low-power nuclear plants. Both countries see potential in scientific research, particularly in controlled thermonuclear fusion. Rosatom also offers Indian scientists opportunities to conduct research at its MBIR reactor in Russia, which promises advancements in various fields like medicine and materials science.

Additionally, discussions involve joint development of the Northern Sea Route to facilitate the transit of Russian resources like oil, coal, and LNG to India. Cooperation within the Euro-Asian Container Transit project is also explored, expanding the scope of mutually beneficial collaboration.

Regarding India's energy goals, Rosatom aims to contribute significantly to achieving a cumulative installed capacity share of non-fossil fuel energy sources of around 50% by 2030 and reaching net-zero emissions by 2050, with nuclear energy playing a pivotal role. India ranks second after China in the number of nuclear power units under simultaneous construction.

The Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant stands as a flagship Indo-Russian project, operating modern VVER-1000 reactors and significantly reducing CO2 emissions in the region. Construction of additional units is underway, with Rosatom delivering new fuel assemblies to improve economic efficiency.

Likhacheva emphasizes the importance of nuclear energy in combating climate change, citing its cost-effectiveness and long service life. Russian nuclear power units meet modern requirements, evidenced by global demand for Rosatom projects, which account for 88% of exported nuclear power construction worldwide.
