Following the opening of international nuclear trade possibilities with India, Westinghouse announced that it has appointed Meena Mutyala to the newly-created position of Vice President and Business Leader, India Strategy.

He added that Mutyala's experience "will help Westinghouse develop a long-term vision and strategy for nuclear power in India, which will include the eventual construction and operation of Westinghouse AP1000 nuclear plants in India."
