India and Russia team up for bigger nuclear goals

India Dec 07, 2025

India and Russia are stepping up their nuclear energy game.
During President Putin's recent visit, the two countries agreed on a major deal—Russia will help power the Kudankulam Nuclear Plant in Tamil Nadu, supporting India's ambitious plan to hit 100 GW of nuclear capacity by 2047.

What else is happening?

They're also scouting for a new spot to build another joint nuclear plant, showing just how deep this partnership runs.
This isn't a new friendship either—the two nations have been working together on nuclear projects since 1961.
Beyond boosting clean energy, this move helps India cut down on coal use and underscores the long-standing partnership between both countries.
