Please help me in understanding this sentence.

Hello Friends,

I would like to know whether the below sentence is correct or not.

The Pro-Deal argument is that it opens a door for supply of nuclear fuel without India having had to sign the Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty.

I think it should be "having to" rather than "having had to". Could you please explain me the reason the writer has used present perfect participle here.

Please help me.

Best Regards,

Sabya

Thanks Philip,

I think the writer would have that India has to sign the NPT (Nuclear Non Proliferation Treaty) and subsequently get access to internation market. But unfortunately, this makes the whole sentence incomprehensible.
