I have gone through part of the agreement and so far I find that it has nothing that is against Indian interests. I will quote the following lines:
“WHEREAS India is desirous of further expanding cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency (hereinafter referred to as “the Agency”) and its Member States
“To identify and separate its civilian and military nuclear facilities and programmes in a phased manner;
“...for India to obtain access to the international fuel market, including reliable, uninterrupted and continuous access to fuel supplies from companies in several nations, as well as support for an Indian effort to develop a strategic reserve of nuclear fuel to guard against any disruption of supply over the lifetime of India’s reactors;
“5. ...the Agency shall implement safeguards in a manner designed to avoid hampering India’s economic or technological development, and not to hinder or otherwise interfere with any activities involving the use by India of nuclear material, non-nuclear material, equipment, components, information or technology produced, acquired or developed by India independent of this Agreement for its own purposes.
“7. ...the Agency shall take every precaution to protect commercial and industrial secrets
“14. (a) India, on the basis of its sole determination, shall notify the Agency in writing of its decision to offer for Agency safeguards a facility identified by India in the Declaration referred to in paragraph 13,”

Oh, not so fast, friend. Surely, you are not implying that the deal's text is so deep an intellectual effort that one would need 'supreme intellect' to interpret it ???

Even after this agreement is signed, India has to decide when to make this agreement effective. Only when it starts acquiring supplies this agreement becomes effective.
