520 |a ABSTRACT The Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) is an informal multilateral export control group. It is not legally binding but members have a political commitment to implement the NSG Guidelines. As part of the India-US Nuclear Agreement, the United States sought an India-specific NSG waiver, exempting India from its full-scope safeguards condition. India is now bidding on NSG membership. Some argue in favour of the membership and describe it as beneficial for the nuclear non-proliferation regime, while others fear it would undermine the attractiveness of the Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT) and the credibility of the NSG as an effective organisation in preventing nuclear proliferation. This paper analyses the implication of India's prospective NSG membership for the nuclear non-proliferation regime in the light of the NSG waiver negotiations and argues that the NSG waiver has already committed India to adhering to the NSG Guidelines as a non-member state, while the membership would not strengthen the regime. The NSG waiver negotiations show that India would resist non-proliferation conditions and it would undermine the regime.
