India still has hopes for entry into NSG and there is a good reason for it. NSG is likely to meet again this year to discuss membership of non-NPT (Non-Proliferation Treaty) signatories like India, reportedly as per the suggestion of Mexico.

China opposed Mexico’s suggestion, but later several number of countries including US, supported Mexico’s proposal. 

Even as it emerged that NSG is likely to meet in the next few months, the Ministry of External Affairs Spokesperson Vikas Swarup said, “We will keep impressing upon China that mutual accommodation of interests, concerns and priorities is necessary to move forward bilateral ties.”

“We are confident that we have got a path forward by the end of this year. It needs some work. But we are confident that India would be a full member of the (NSG) regime by the end of the year,” the Obama administration official has said.
