India agreed to both the conditions. After this, in March 2006, the US President visited India. A historic agreement was signed between India and America during this visit. However, opposition parties had opposed it. Left parties said that this agreement will affect India’s foreign policy.
Manmohan Singh proved his majority in Parliament after the Left parties withdrew their support. After this, on October 8, 2008, US President Bush signed this agreement and completed the last formalities.
However, the agreements made during this deal regarding installation of new reactors have not been implemented yet. However, the benefit of this deal for India was that it opened up the nuclear market to the entire world.
