The draft, which has been changed after demands by a number of NSG countries to address non-proliferation concerns, provides for the head of the 45-nation grouping informing the body of India's adherence to its guidelines after holding consultations with the country.

This falls short of the demand made by some NSG countries for periodic review of India's adherence to the grouping's guidelines as a condition for granting the waiver, which has been opposed by New Delhi.

The revised draft provides for the NSG chair "to confer and consult with India and keep the plenary informed of these consultations with a view to intensifying dialogue and partnership with New Delhi.

Another additional clause in the revised draft says that if one or more NSG countries consider that "circumstances have arisen which require consultation, participating governments will act as per the grouping's guidelines.

It also envisages notification by each member-country to inform the others about the approved transfer of nuclear fuel and technologies to India.
