{'nuclear suppliers group': [0, 0, 3, 2], 'nuclear non proliferation treaty': [0, 0, 1, 0], 'nuclear power': [0, 0, 1, 1], 'renewable sources': [0, 0, 1, 2], 'largest source': [0, 1, 2, 2], 'india': [8, 1, 7, 13], 'member': [22, 5, 20, 36], 'electricity': [0, 0, 1, 3]}

Option 1 states that nuclear power is the fourth largest source of electricity in India after thermal, hydro, and renewable sources. This statement is not correct as nuclear power is not the fourth largest source of electricity in India. The correct order of electricity sources in India is thermal, hydro, renewable, and then nuclear.

Option 2 states that India is a non-signatory of the Nuclear Non-Proliferation Treaty. This statement is correct. India is one of the few countries that have not signed the treaty, which aims to prevent the spread of nuclear weapons.

Option 3 states that India is a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group. This statement is not correct. India is not a member of the Nuclear Suppliers Group, which is a multinational body that aims to ensure that nuclear trade is carried out safely and responsibly.

Based on the analysis, the correct answer is Option 2, which states that statement 1 and 2 only are correct.
