"We have agreed to discuss cooperation in outer space over the next few weeks, including outstanding issues regarding manned space exploration, the development of India-based projects focused on GLONASS, and the possible joint manufacture of modules to receive the GLONASS signal," Mr. Rogozin said.
The government official emphasized "strong demand" in Russia for the equipping of domestic motor vehicles with such modules.
"We can produce those as a joint effort, especially if the Indian partners themselves vote for the introduction of the ERA-GLONASS project to use GLONASS modules on their motor vehicles for swift response to emergency situations," the Russian vice premier added.
