Chennai:
In
a bid to enhance its presence in India, Russian State Atomic Energy
Corporation (ROSATOM) has opened a regional office in Mumbai on
Thursday.
The
Mumbai office will also be in charge of the company's projects in
Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The regional center will also be responsible
for strengthening the current positions of Rosatom in the South Asian
market and identifying new opportunities for the development of its
nuclear power and non-energy businesses.
Rosatom
has already opened similar centers in Latin America, Western, Eastern
and Central Europe, Central Asia, Southeast Asia, the Middle East and
North America.
"Two
power units of Russian design are already operating on the Kudankulam
nuclear power plant site and two more are under construction. To
increase the state corporation's market presence, it was decided to open
a regional center in Mumbai. This will enable us to join forces with
our Indian partners and enhance the performance of Russian nuclear
enterprises operating in India," said Aleksey Pimenov, the Regional
President of Rosatom South Asia.
Pimenov
pointed out that the creation of a network of offices all over the
world is related to the expansion of Rosatom's global footprint. It is
also in line with the company's long-term development strategy, which
stipulates an ambitious but achievable aim of increasing the foreign
order portfolio to $150 billion in the next 10 years.
The
management and development of Rosatom's regional network are carried
out by Private Institution of Atomic Energy Power Corporation Rusatom
International Network.
