Title of the Event Indian Defence - India joined Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) Date(s) of the event(s) June 27, 2016 Description India on June 27, 2016, joined the multilateral export control Missile Technology Control Regime (MTCR) as a full member, days after its attempt to be part of the exclusive Nuclear Suppliers Group (NSG) was thwarted by China. Since it concluded its civil nuclear deal with the United States in 2008, India has been trying to get admission into export control regimes such as the NSG, MTCR, the Australia Group and the Wassenaar Arrangement that regulate the conventional, nuclear, biological and chemicals weapons and technologies. India’s efforts to get into the MTCR also got a boost after it joined the Hague Code of Conduct on June 03, 2016, dealing with the ballistic missile non-proliferation arrangement. The aim of the MTCR is to restrict the proliferation of missiles, complete rocket systems, unmanned air vehicles and related technology for those systems capable of carrying a 500 kilogramme payload for at least 300 kilometres, as well as systems intended for the delivery of weapons of mass destruction (WMD).
