India and Russia to Discuss Nuclear Energy Cooperation

Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi and Russian President Vladimir Putin are set to meet in New Delhi to discuss defense cooperation, nuclear energy, and trade. The meeting precedes the 18th BRICS Summit, which India is hosting.

Kremlin spokesperson Dmitry Peskov confirmed that Russia intends to advance discussions with India regarding the construction of additional nuclear power plants. Nuclear energy remains a key area of long-term cooperation between the two countries, alongside extensive defense ties.

Economic and financial issues are also expected to be part of the discussions. Peskov noted the increasing use of national currencies in Russia's trade with BRICS partners, with approximately 90% of transactions currently conducted in national currencies. This preference is partly driven by restrictions on access to certain currencies.

September is going to be a busy month for the NucFinder team.

Over the next few weeks, we’ll be taking part in several nuclear industry events across Europe and the US:

14 September — Arnova Nuclear Energy Summit 2026, Zurich 🇨🇭
21–23 September — Texas Nuclear Summit, Texas 🇺🇸
23 September — SMR Expo -SMALL MODULAR REACTOR EXPO, Derby 🇬🇧
29–30 September — ENES2026 SMR, Warsaw 🇵🇱

For us, these events are a great opportunity to meet utilities, developers, EPCs, suppliers, technology companies and industry organisations — and to continue the conversation around one of the sector’s biggest challenges: building a stronger and more connected nuclear supply chain.

If you’ll be attending any of these events, we’d be very happy to meet, exchange ideas and discuss potential collaboration.

See you in Zurich, Texas, Derby and Warsaw.
