03:25Russian state corporations and national business champions Rosatom and Rostec showcased their leading projects and joint ventures with India, at the Innoprom industrial fair at New Delhi's Bharat Mandapam on Wednesday.
Footage shows the Rosatom stand, as well as that of the Rostec's United Aircraft Corporation (UAC), with representatives and visitors seen discussing the decades-long partnerships with India. The Rosatom stand features models and video media relating to Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant operations, while the UAC stand features models of the Ilyushin 114, SSJ-100 and MC-21 310 passenger aircraft, as well as models of Russian jet engines.
Rosatom is a key strategic partner to the Indian energy sector, centred on the Kudankulam Nuclear Power Plant (KKNPP) project in Tamil Nadu in partnership with the Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL). KKNPP units one and two already produce 2,000 MW of carbon-free baseline power to southern India's grid, with unit three at the final preparations stage and units five and six expected to come online later in the decade to bring the plant to its 6,000 MW design capacity.
The vital project, in combination with discussions over a second six-reactor plant, localised nuclear fuel production and deployment of Rosatom land and floating Small Modular Reactors (SMRs), is key to India reaching its target of 100 GW of nuclear powergen by 2047.
Meanwhile, UAC's presence in India shifted from that of supplier to strategic partner in 2025, with the signing of a landmark localised manufacturing agreement with Hindustan Aeronautics Limited (HAL) for the licensed domestic production of the import-substituted Yakovlev SJ-100 regional passenger jet in India in 2028-2029. UAC is also discussing localised assembly of the Il-114-300 turboprop, key to regional travel in remote locations.
The UAC's MC-21 310 aircraft represents a shift forward for international travel, powered by the PD-14 turbofan engines developed by United Engine Corporation (UEC).
Through INNOPROM, Russian companies are exploring technology transfers, local production and partnerships with Indian firms, while India is looking for investment and technologies to strengthen domestic manufacturing.
The three-day exhibition brings together companies and industry representatives from both countries, with machinery, engineering, digital technologies and manufacturing among the sectors on show.
The event takes place as Moscow and New Delhi push to expand economic ties beyond their established energy and defence relationship.
Bilateral trade reached a record $68.7 billion in the 2024-25 fiscal year and stood at $59.86 billion in 2025-26, with India's imports from Russia dominated by oil and petroleum products. The two countries are targeting $100 billion in annual trade by 2030.
The Russian-Indian forum also takes place just days before the BRICS summit in New Delhi on September 12-13, where India and Russia are expected to pursue further cooperation in areas including artificial intelligence, advanced manufacturing and critical raw materials.
