loping countries are predetermined to a considerable degree al­ ready during the stage of selecting a project for cooperation and project preparation activities. According to the normative prin­ ciples acting In the Soviet Union It Is required to carry out a thorough elaboration of all problems related to substantiation of feaslbllty and choice of technical parameters of technical assis­ tance projects.

As It Is known Jn the second half of the 50s three metal lur­ glcal enterprises were simultaneously built In ·the public sector of India one of which was In Bhllal with the USSk assistance. Out of the three enterprises the Bhllal plant has·a~peared to be the most efficient as to Its economic and technical Indicators. In 1982-83 the level of utilization of the producti~e-ca~acitles at this plant was 1.2 times or 1.4-tlmes In case. of cleslgn capacities higher than the average Indicator for the met~llurgl­ cal Industry of lnd·la as a w-hole. The Government of India has since taken a decision to continue actively the cooperation with the Soviet Union In the field of ferrous metallurgy via expanding the Bhllal ·and Bokaro plants and construction of a new plant In Vlzakhapatanam. In 1982-1983 75S of total allocations for the development of ferrous metallurgy·was designated for the projects of economic and technological co-operation with the Soviet Union. The aluminum plant built In Nag-Hammed! according to the Soviet design and rigged with Soviet equipment has reached Its 
**Analysis**
The text appears to be discussing the cooperation between the Soviet Union and India in the field of ferrous metallurgy, specifically highlighting the efficiency of a metalurgical plant in Bhilal and the plans for further cooperation.
