The author fails to recognize that india will in 10-15 years figure out thorium based breeding of fissile material. Then we wont need any more Uranium.
However, there is no guarantee how long India will need to do research on fast breeder. It may even take 20-30 years to be practically feasible on large scale.
In the meanwhile, do you seriously accept US and the NPT signees (that is the rest of the worl) allow india to by pass NPT to get a better deal?
