Russia strongly backs Indian entry to Nuclear Suppliers Group
24 March 2017 KSENIA KONDRATIEVA

At a lecture at the Foreign Service Institute at the old Jawaharlal Nehru University campus, a senior Russian Foreign Ministry official said India met all the necessary requirements to become a NSG member. He also praised Russia-India cooperation in the peaceful use of nuclear energy.

Russia strongly supports Indian membership of the Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG), Mikhail Ulyanov, Director of the Russian Foreign Ministry’s Department for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control, said in New Delhi on March 23.

“India will become a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group because it complies with all criteria for participation in this association,” Ulyanov said at a lecture titled ‘India-Russia Partnership and Prospects for Non-Proliferation and Arms Control,’ which was delivered at the Foreign Service Institute at the old Jawaharlal Nehru University campus.

“First, India has considerable potential in the sphere of the peaceful atom,” the Russian diplomat said. “Secondly, they have a pretty good working system of nuclear control. This is a necessary condition for membership in the NSG.”

Without naming China, Ulyanov acknowledged that a “few countries were not prepared to support the decision on the accession of New Delhi in the NSG.”

India has been attempting to become a member of the NSG, a group of 48 nuclear supplier countries that seek to prevent nuclear proliferation by controlling the export of materials, equipment and technology that can be used to manufacture nuclear weapons.

India’s attempts to become a member have been blocked by China, which insists on India signing the nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty (NPT).

India enjoys most of the benefits that NSG membership offers thanks to a 2008 exemption to NSG rules that was granted to support its nuclear cooperation deal with the United States.

Ulyanov added that Russia backed India’s successful entry to the Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR), a voluntary partnership among 35 countries that was set up to prevent the proliferation of missile and drone technology capable of carrying above 500 kg payload for more than 300 km.

Crux of the matter.
Will Russia persuade China?
 
china does not give a damn about what russia thinks. china only cares about pakistan and will surely keep blocking india's entry. china will do anything for pakistan.
China is blocking for herself. Pakistan is just an excuse

Crux of the matter.

not a chance
 
40 of the 48 members of the NSG are white countries. The Asians, Africans, and Latins should make their own NSG. It's obvious the white countries aren't going to favor another Muslim country or any brown/black country that they don't have a large influence in, entry into the NSG. So why not make our own NSG?

You can make another dozen groups like nsg but just a handful of those 40 countries actually have any genuine tech that they want to share and they won't share it with anyone outside the group. So Pakistan can make a group with all African and Asian countries for name sake without any use at all.
