India is trying to narrow down the differences with some of the NSG countries before the next meeting scheduled for September 4-5.

A 45-nation NSG meeting on whether to lift a ban on nuclear trade with India ended inconclusively last week after some members wanted to attach conditions.

According to diplomats, conditions tabled at the NSG included intrusive U.N. inspections of Indian civilian nuclear sites; cancellation of any waiver if India tests bombs again; and periodic reviews of Indian compliance with the exemption.

The NSG countries will meet again on September 4-5 after the United States reworks the draft for a waiver aimed at breaking the nuclear trade embargo.

The deal would allow India access to nuclear technology and fuel, overturning a three-decade ban on trade after India tested nuclear weapons in 1974.

Time is running out on the bilateral deal which still has to reach the U.S. Congress for ratification by early September at the latest, before the house breaks for the November U.S. presidential elections. (ANI)
