Washington-based Institute for Science and International Security has suggested that India appeared to have followed through on its publicly announced intention to build the Special Material Enrichment Facility (SMEF) and started constructing a large enrichment centrifuge complex near Chitradurga, Karnataka.

The Hindu has exclusively obtained an Airbus imagery from the U.S.-based think tank, dated April 17, 2014, showing how land is being divided up near Khudapura, Chitradurga District, Karnataka.
