The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was\ncreated following the explosion in 1974 of a nuclear device by a\nnon-nuclear-weapon State (India), which demonstrated that nuclear technology\ntransferred for peaceful purposes could be misused. It is a group of nuclear\nsupplier countries that seeks to contribute to the non-proliferation of nuclear\nweapons through the implementation of sets of Guidelines for nuclear exports\nand nuclear-related exports. The NSG takes decisions by consensus. India is\nkeen to become a member of NSG as it seeks to significantly expand its nuclear\npower generation and also enter the export market in coming years.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Why India is a legitimate entrant to NSG?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

  1. India has maintained an exceptional record in\nnuclear non-proliferation despite not being any under legal obligation. India\nhad been an ardent supporter of complete nuclear disarmament in all major\ninternational floras such as NAM, UN etc.<\/li>
  2. It has maintained a strong commitment to\ncontrolling exports of nuclear materials, equipment and technologies.<\/li>
  3. After 1998 nuclear tests when India became a\nnuclear weapon state, India tightened its systems further by introducing new\nlaws and for nearly a decade, has been a voluntary adherent to the NSG\nguidelines.<\/li>
  4. It has been a voluntary adherent to the NSG\nguidelines for last one decade.<\/li>
  5. The exceptional waiver provided by the NSG in\n2008 was an acknowledgement of India\u2019s non-proliferation record.<\/li>
  6. India has declared moratorium on the underground\nnuclear weapons testing which is in accordance with the spirit of NPT. This\nshows that India has abided by the non-proliferation rules even without being a\nparty to NPT.<\/li>
  7. India pledged to subject its nuclear facilities\nunder IAEA safeguards and currently 14 out of 23 nuclear reactors are already\nunder IAEA safeguard.<\/li>
  8. Autonomous institute like AEC to keep strict\nvigil on nuclear facilities; advanced security provisions in nuclear sites;\nstable democracy with diffused decision making power <\/li>
  9. Also, India\u2019s need for developing nuclear\nweapons is not driven by any misguided agenda to pursue regional dominance or\nto strong arm neighbouring states, but by pragmatic realisation of threat from\nChina and Pakistan, both nuclear powered states, one communists and other\nfailed democratic state in the immediate neighbourhood. India has also\ncommitted to the policy of no-first use.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

    Importance of India\u2019s entry into NSG:<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

    1. Membership to the NSG will essentially increase\nIndia\u2019s access to state-of-the-art technology from the other members of the\nGroup.<\/li>
    2. Access to technology and being allowed to\nproduce nuclear equipment will give a boost to the Make in India program. That\nwill, in turn, boost the economic growth of our country.<\/li>
    3. As per India\u2019s INDC under the Paris Climate\nagreement, we have committed to reducing dependence on fossil fuels and\nensuring that 40% of its energy is sourced from renewable and clean sources. In\norder to achieve this target, we need to scale up nuclear power production.\nThis can only happen if India gains access to the NSG.<\/li>
    4. It will improve legitimacy of India\u2019s nuclear\nprogramme and India can sign nuclear deal with more countries for civilian use.\n<\/li>
    5. India will become an active member in stopping\nthe proliferation of nuclear material . Will get more information about how\nmuch nuclear material is possessed by which country. 2 of its neighbour are\nnuclear state which threat to India\u2019s security. <\/li>
    6. Many countries have refused to signed civil\nnuclear deal with India because it is not a signatory of NPT or not a member of\nNSG. Eg. Japan. For India\u2019s energy security Nuclear reactors are necessary.<\/li><\/ol>\n\n\n\n

      India should aggressively keep pursuing\nentrance to NSG that would help India in the development of nuclear energy\nwhile providing the essential emphasis on safety and addressing concerns of the\npublic. It will also pave the way for clean energy initiatives and continued\nfocus to achieve our commitments to reduce the carbon footprint pledged during\nthe climate summit.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
