India now has a majority of support for its bid to join the Nuclear Suppliers Group. However, China, along with other member countries, has been opposing India’s admission to NSG as India has not signed the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty.
India seems to have outplayed China in terms of diplomatic maneuverings leaving the great Asian nation somewhat isolated.NSG membership for India is crucial as it will give access to technology that will help it in a variety of areas, ranging from medicine to building nuclear plants.
"Getting membership of NSG will be very important for India as it will foster nuclear power generation in India. Apart from that it will also pave the way for India's own nuclear trade with other developing countries. After that, Indian suppliers and manufacturers of nuclear components can sell it other countries. India will also get the latest technology," Chintamani Mahapatra, Professor in Delhi's Jawahar Lal University told Sputnik.
