'India can build N-aircraft carrier, warships'

After the launch of the country’s first indigenous nuclear submarine, India has the “technical expertise and capability” to build nuclear-powered aircraft carrier and warships, Atomic Energy Commission (AEC) Chairman Anil Kakodkar has said.

“We have the technical expertise and capability to build nuclear-powered aircraft carriers and warships of global standards,” Kakodkar said on the sidelines of a function here last night.

“When the government asks us to build such ships, we will do it... We are confident that we can build even supply propelling energy for aircraft carriers,” he said.
