Separately, OAO Tvel, the Russian nuclear-fuel monopoly, agreed to deliver nuclear fuel worth $700 million (Rs3,480 crore) to other Indian power stations, Kiriyenko said.

Russia and India are looking to boost trade to $10 billion by 2010, to help restore a relationship that has cooled since the Soviet Union collapsed. The two countries also signed accords on the sale of 80 helicopters to India and cooperation in areas including space exploration, financial markets and tourism.

Anatoly Perminov, head of the Russian Space Agency, said India may get its own spacecraft after 2015. Russia will offer its help under a contract system and the two countries will decide on details of space cooperation in six months, he said.
