13th India – Russia Annual Summit was held @New Delhi and attended by Russian President Vladimir Putin. (Dec 2012)

Important because this year marks the 65th anniversary of Indo-Russia Diplomatic relations.

Russia used to be key defense supplier to India, but recently India has diversified its suppliers (from Europe, Israel etc).1. Lost bid of France’s Dassault Rafale.2.2G scam: Indian Supreme Court canceled license of Siestema company. Russian Government owns ~17% stakes in Siestema.3.

Russia trying to improve relation with PAK. (already discussed how Russian Defense minister did not come to India butvisited Pakistan. click me)

1.

Delayed delivery of Admiral Gorshkov (Vikramaditya) Aircraft carrier + Russia demanding more cash for it.2.Few years back, ONGC Videsh bought a Russian Company Imperial energy. We want Russian Government to decrease theexport duty on this company.

3.

USA has gained heavy clout in Libya=> From now on, most of defense and nuke energy contracts of Libya will be awared toAmerican Companies. So Putin wants more deals with India to make up for the business-loss.

1.

India’s support (or atleast non-pro-USA stand) on Syria.2.Putin is blackmailing Mohan that if you want tax-holiday for OVL (ONGC Videsh) in Russia, then you must restore 2G

licenses of Siestema.Mohan says I’m helpless it is court-matter. (for more on 2G scam, click me)

Bilateral trade between Worth billion USD

Indo-China More than 50

Indo-Russia ~10

Putin-Mohan agreed to take steps to increase the bilateral trade to 20 billion US Dollars by 2015.

Untapped sectors in Indo-Russia Business Progress during Putin’s Visit:

Pharmaceuticals1.Fertilizers2.Mining3.Steel4.Information technology5.Civil aviation6.Telecommunications (problem=

siestema license canceled in 2g)

7.

Infrastructure8.Food processing9.Innovation and services10.

We’ve asked inter-governmental and business level groups to recommend specific steps for increasing bilateral trade and investment flows in theseuntapped sectors.

1.

SBI India + Russian Direct Investment Fund (RDIF)= 2bn dollar jointinvestment.

2.

TCS (India) signed deals with Russian firm Navigation InformationSystems (NIS) for software Development etc.

3.

Elder Pharma (India) signed deal with Russian co.4.

2010 Putin had signed “Roadmap for cooperation in the nuclear energy sector” with Mohan

2012 Agreements updated.

Russia will build 1 nuke plant in India, every year for next 18 years.Cost of Each plant=2.5 billion USD.Capacity of Each plant = 1000 MW.Thus, By 2030 approx 20% of India’s electricity output come from Russian plants.


1/1/2004



In Tiruneveli district of TNDeveloped by Nuclear Power Corporation of India Limited (NPCIL) + Russia Collaboration.Capacity 1000 MW x 2 plantsFor other plants of India, observe this map: click ME

Centre vs State People vs Government

Jayalalitha says when power plants are constructed inAndhra, they get to use the entire electricity.Same rule should be applied for powerplantsconstructed in Tamilnadu.But from Kudankulam, about 250MW electricity will

be given to Kerala, despite the fact that Tamilnaduitself needs 2000MW.

Public protest against Kudankulam plant in the wake of Fukushima disaster.

Mohan says Jholachhap NGOs financed by Americancompanies, are playing mischief. Otherwise Kudankulam isway better and safer than Fukushima.

Unit 1 Construction Complete.Power generation will start soon.

Unit 2 Will be finished next year.

3 and 4 In progress.Putin wants them to be out of Civil Nuke Liability law or India should pay higher price.

Late

80sAgreement between India-Russia for construction of Kudankulam plant Unit #1 and #2.

2010Indian Parliament passed Civil Liability for Nuclear Damage Act.It allows the nuclear operator the right to demand compensation from a supplier in case faulty equipment causesan accident at a nuclear power plant.

Government has kept Kudankulam Unit #1 and #2 outside the purview of nuke liability act, saying they were being constructed before passing of that Act.

Now we are planning to install two more units here (#3 and #4),

but we want them under the nuke liability act. (so, if disaster happens due to faulty Russian equipment, we can demand moneyfrom them.)

Putin This is wrong yaar! If #1 and #2 are outside Nuke liability then #3 and #4 should also be exempted.

MohanSorry can’t help.If I make an exemption for you, then America and France will demand the same treatment. Ultimately no plant willcome under Nuke liability act!

PutinAlright then.If you want to build #3 and #4 with our help, AND you want them under Nuke liability then give us twice the moneywe had agreed earlier. (so I can use that money to buy insurance cover from third party to pay up for the disaster.)

Before Putin’s Visit During visit

ONGC Videsh currently owns a 20 per cent interest in theSakhalin-I project in Far East Russia.

1.

GAIL India made contract to buy LNG from GAZPROM.2.OVL and Russian co. made deal to explore Magadan-2 and

Magadan-3 blocks in the Okhotsk sea in eastern Russia3.

Agreement for mutual investments and joint projectsin third countries.

1.

We want capacity expansion of Sakhalin-II project.2.Also ONGC keen on Sakhalin-III and other new

projects in Siberia, Arctic Shelf and Far East Russia.3.

Fifth generation aircraft Development, already discussed in old articles click ME.

During the summit India gave orders to buy

Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets1.

Mil Mi-17 Military Helicopters2.

Global Navigation Satellite System.Glonass is a Russian space-based system with many satellites.It provides location and time information anywhere in the planet,use= military, civil and commercialGlonass is an alternative to the U.S.-controlled Global Positioning System (GPS).

During Iraq Invasion, America had blocked GPS signals to Iraq and then inserted misleading GPS signals into Iraqi missilesand air force.Because of this, Iraq could not attack American defense forces with deadly accuracy.India should be prepared to meet “aggression by any developed country, including the U.S.A.” Hence over-reliance on GPS=

bad. Need to put some eggs in GLONASS basket.

GLONASS navigation system will allow Indian missiles, to strike within half a metre of distant targets= very accurate.1.GLONASS fitted on Nuclear submarine Chakra= killer combo.2.

iPhone 4S mobile supports both GPS and GLONASS.You can use it to know distance covered during jogging etc.Finding shortest possible route during travel

Keep track of your school-buses, transport trucks etc.

Mohan-Putin signed agreement for use of GLONASS.

Establishment of India-Russia Joint Science and Technology Centers in India and Russia,1.

To develop technology2.To commercialize that technology.3.

Nano-technology,BiomedicineSupercomputing.

India and Russia want Afghanistan to be free from

External interference (of PAK+China)1.Extremism+ Terrorism2.Drug trafficking.3.

We’ve agreed to work together in Afghanistan to achieve ^these.

Already Cooperating During Putin’s visit

Energy1.Defense2.Space3.Trade And Investment4.

We’ve reviewed and updated the agreements.


1/1/2004



Science And Technology5.Education6.Culture7.Tourism.8.

Apart from that,

Russia has supported India’s entry as a full member of the Shanghai Cooperation Organization (SCO) Already Discussed click ME

1.

Russia has reaffirmed that India as one of the most deserving and strongest candidate for the permanent member of theexpanded UN Security Council.

2.

Usually after a summit is over, the leaders of Both Nation hold a joint press conference.

But this time, after 13th India-Russia annual Summit, no join press conference was held.Critiques say this proves India-Russia friendship is going through difficult times.

But it is not true, because

Putin was on tight schedule.1.Putin has broken his back in Judo practice, can’t stand or sit for long.2.Mohan was afraid that during Joint Press conference, reporters would ask him uncomfortable questions on Delhi-Gangrape +

demolition of only Hindu temple in Russia.

3.

Therefore Joint press conference was avoided.


1/1/2004



Mohan checks the bill

Item Quantity Price ($ Billion)

Sukhoi Su-30 fighter jets 42 1.6

Mi-17 Military Helicopters 71 1.3

Nuke plant 18 45

Total 50 billion

Mohan: There seems to be a mistake in the calculation. Total should be 47.9 billion dollars.

Putin: sorry mate, I don’t keep chillar just like Delhi’s rickshaw-walls. Figure rounded off to next 50s and 100s.Mohan: But how am I going to justify this expense-mismatch in Government account books? CAG will rip me apart!Putin: Chillx, just show it as bill for serving Desi Liquor to delegates and foreign journalists during this Summit.

Mohan: oh yes, then it’ll be a legit expense under diplomatic protocols. Indeed whaat an idea sir- ji

Hi

Nitin PathakReply to this comment

Hi Mrunal Sir,

I am a regular user of your product Mrunal’s(whether it is of Diplomacy,Polity,E&B etc.).That was just trying to be humorous as you

are in your AWESOME blogs.

I want to appear in UPSC-2014 and has been focussing on GS for the last year and is referring to standard materials(including

almost all which you say).Now most probably GS will be of 1200 instead of 600.So, the vastness of GS would also become

twice.So,Dont u think that GS no needs to be read more exhaustive.If yes,how Sir?

Also Sir,Can you please provide the Highlights of 12th Five Year Plan documents as its very tough to understand which part of the

3-volume Plan is important and which is not.As this is important for all aspirants til 2017 it would serve as a SANJEEBANI BUTI for

all of these people.

Thanks Sir.
