Slow progress in France and USA’s marketing of nuclear power to India

marketig-nukesDelay in nuclear-deal with Japan may hit progress on atomic plants ET By PTI | 16 Feb, 2014 NEW DELHI: Progress on atomic plants being built here by France and the US can be hampered by the delay in India’s nuclear deal with Japan where key components of these plants are manufactured and India now wants these countries to push Japan to conclude the agreement at the earliest. ……

France is building a nuclear plant at Jaitapur in Maharashtra and a number of its components are manufactured by companies based in Japan. Until India and Japan have a nuclear deal in place, these companies cannot provide the components for the plant.

Similarly, the US is also proposing to construct a nuclear plant in Mithi Virdi in Gujarat and will require components from Japan-based companies.
……As the nuclear deal with Japan and India could not be signed during Japanese Prime Minister Shinzo Abe’s recent visit to Delhi last month, sources point out that this could have an impact on the progress of two upcoming nuclear power plant projects in India. http://economictimes.indiatimes.com/articleshow/30526219.cms?utm_source=contentofinterest&utm_medium=text&utm_campaign=cppst
