NEW DELHI: India on Wednesday imposed a ban on export of any material and technology to Iran that could be used in development of its nuclear weapons and delivery systems.

The decision is in compliance with the UN Security Council resolution of last year. The Central government has notified the decision to prohibit export and import of all items, materials and technologies that could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related activities.

"Direct or indirect export and import of all items, materials, equipment, goods and technology which could contribute to Iran's enrichment-related, reprocessing or heavy water related activities, or to the development of nuclear weapon delivery systems... whether or not originating in Iran to/from Iran is prohibited," the notification issued by Directorate General of Foreign Trade said.

However, there would be some exceptions such as equipment meant for light water reactors and low-enriched uranium when it is incorporated in assembled nuclear fuel elements for such reactors.●
