(BBC) Indian PM Manmohan Singh and Russian President Dmitry Medvedev have failed to sign a deal to extend a controversial nuclear project.
On his two-day visit to Russia, Mr Singh said work on two units at the Koodankulam plant in Tamil Nadu would be completed.
But there was no deal on units three and four. The $3bn nuclear plant has been beset by protests over safety.
Mr Singh said unit one at Koodankulam would be operational in a "couple of weeks" and unit two would be commissioned within six months, the Press Trust of India reported.
He said "temporary problems" with protests over safety would be overcome.
The contract for the other two units had been expected to be signed but this did not take place.
Before the talks, Mr Singh said India would fulfil its commitments on increased nuclear cooperation with Russia.
