Vienna, Sept 6 : The 45-nation Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) has agreed to grant India a "clean waiver" here today.

Earlier today, Prime Minister Manmohan Singh had a meeting with External Affairs Minister Pranab Mukherjee and National Security Advisor Shicshankar Menon in New Delhi after two days of talks failed to break a deadlock in the NSG over granting a clean waiver to India.

On Friday, Pranab Mukherjee had issued fresh statement on India''s commitment to non-proliferation.

Vienna  - Nuclear-exporting countries were optimistic in Vienna Saturday that they could agree on a trade waiver for India, a key step before the United States can implement its 2005 nuclear agreement with New Delhi.

As they gathered for a third day of talks, members of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), which sets international export control rules, said they expected to make an exemption from their rules, giving India's growing atomic energy sector access to global suppliers.

India's declaration on Friday about its commitments to nuclear non- proliferation was key to making a decision possible, diplomats said.
