MOSCOW, July 9. /TASS/. Russia offers cooperation in building small tropical nuclear power stations to India with the possibility of their deep localization, including transfer of the construction part to New Delhi, Chief Executive Officer of the state-run corporation Rosatom Alexey Likhachev said as he conducted an excursion for Russian President Vladimir Putin and Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi in the Atom pavilion.

"We offer cooperation possibilities for construction of tropical stations," he said. "With very deep localization," CEO added.

"We can transfer the whole construction part to you," he told Modi.

Russia and India have close ties in the nuclear sector.
