Found even more relevant text from the agreement :
Long story short is that the US accepted our legal status as a de facto nuclear power and decided to make an exception to deal with us commercially while we managed to secure immunity for our military assets. If you now sign the NPT on top of this then all of this is gone and we will have to surrender nukes. I haven't eaten enough Macher Jhol to recommend such a move.
Found even more relevant text from the agreement :
India gets to declare which of its reactors are civil and which are military. So basically we will declare all non-US reactors as civil as the US has no authority to prove otherwise anyway. On top of that, transfer of sensitive technology from the US is also exempt from the Hyde act and 123 act.grant of an exemption for India by the Nuclear Suppliers Group, an export-control cartel that had been formed mainly in response to India's first nuclear test in 1974. In its final shape, the deal places under permanent safeguards those nuclear facilities that India has identified as "civil" and permits broad civil nuclear cooperation, while excluding the transfer of "sensitive" equipment and technologies, including civil enrichment and reprocessing items even under IAEA safeguards.
