“If the question is will UK build nuclear power plants in India, the answer is no. But we are keen to have partnership in providing technology and expertise for building these nuclear power plants,” Treadell said.
“AMEC, a British company, has recently signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with HCC for joint partnership in providing design expertise to build nuclear power plant in India,” Treadell said.
Other British companies like Rolls Royce are also interested to participate in the development of nuclear plants in India, he said.
British High Commission Senior Trade and Investment Adviser Jitendra Jain said that an entire nuclear power plant could not be developed by a single company. And the company building the nuclear plant would require help from other companies who are experts in different technology.
Jain said that there are many companies in UK who are interested to come to India.
