New Delhi: Alstom India, a subsidiary of
French firm Alstom, is in talks with state-run Bhel and
Nuclear Power Corporation of India (NPCIL) to join in as a
third partner in their proposed joint-venture.
"We are in discussion with both the companies (Bhel and
NPCIL)," Alstom Project Country President Sunand Sharma told
a news agency on the side lines of the India Economic Summit.
