2 September 2005 - The United States has lifted restrictions on six Indian nuclear and space facilities, a move that will enable India to buy nuclear fuel and reactor components.
In an interview with an Indian newspaper, the US ambassador to India, David Mulford, described India as a unique non-proliferation case, separating it from North Korea, Iran, Israel and Pakistan.
Previous US policy had placed nuclear trade sanctions on all countries that did not allow international monitoring of nuclear facilities. However, earlier this year, President Bush and Indian Prime Minister Manmohan Singh discussed plans to develop India's nuclear energy industry.
Mulford said: "This is a tangible result that delivers on president Bush's commitment to strengthen strategic and commercial relations between the United States and India."
With rapid economic development creating high-energy demand, India sees nuclear energy as an ideal source to boost its generation capacity.
