The general contract was concluded in mid-December 2015, with the contractor being a subsidiary of Rosatom Atomstroyexport.
At the beginning of 2017, Moscow provided a state loan of $11.38 billion to Bangladesh to finance the major stage of the building.
In November 2017, concrete was poured into the base plate of the reactor building of Unit № 1.
