The government has decided to now speed up renegotiation with Russia for the Admiral Gorshkov aircraft carrier refit project and has scheduled three visits by officials to seal the deal by July-end to allow the ship to join the Indian Navy in the next three years.
These visits by top defence ministry and Navy officials have been planned after a recent trip undertaken by defence secretary Vijay Singh to Moscow failed to break the deadlock in negotiations on the Russian demand for an additional $2 billion for the warship, official sources said here on Tuesday.
