If you do not know about deal, do not question it. France might have come with deal but it would be only with France. What USA is offering, npt only tech but its allowing India to trade in nuclear technology which is only allowed to 45 nations. All these states have signed NPT which India has not. India as per International law, can not trade in nuclear fuel and tech. Its dependent on some countries Russia, France who can give limited tech and fuel to India. And thats why India has not able to produced much nuclear energy. Whenever it needs fuel or advanced tech, International laws do not let India trade in these. Russia and France are also bound to International laws. This deal will open doors for India to get fuel, tech and let her trade this with all 45 countries.
