Russian Ambassador to India Alexander M Kadakin said, “The Indian Government is talking about 22-24 nuclear power units, that is the roadmap, because India has no way out of its energy crisis. It has been calculated that if India by 2030 has all the oil produced in the world, it will not be enough for sustainable development. Therefore, to solve the energy problem of India, nuclear energy is the only option, just as we did.” Russian Prime Minister Dmitry Medvedev would be visiting New Delhi on November 5. The Russian Ambassador said diplomats and important persons from Russia would be visiting India next month to strengthen the strategic ties between the two nations.
