MOSCOW (Sputnik) - Energy cooperation between Russia and India goes beyond fuel trade and includes nuclear energy projects and infrastructure development in the Arctic, Sammy Kotwani, president of the Indian Business Alliance (IBA) in Russia, told Sputnik.
"We are already seeing deeper layers [of energy cooperation] beyond pure oil trade: Russia and India are discussing new nuclear power plant options (including broader cooperation themes like SMRs [small modular reactors] and localisation approaches being discussed in public reporting)," Kotwani said.
In addition to cooperation in nuclear energy, India is strategically interested in developing energy projects in the Arctic, including those related to logistics in the region, which would enable the country to ensure its energy security, Kotwani added.

In early December, Russian President Vladimir Putin said during his visit to India that the two countries could cooperate on small modular reactors and floating nuclear power plants, as well as on the use of nuclear technology in medicine and other areas. At the same time, Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev has said that the state corporation discussed with India the possibility of localizing the production of nuclear fuel for nuclear power plants on Indian territory.
